Parked at the beginning of the public right of way (PRoW) to the east of the pillar, just off Nottingham Road. Took the PRoW up to SK 36833 18539, and then headed south west across the trig field to the pillar

re-visit. Hadn't really been in my thoughts for the day, but occurred to me in passing. Gravelled road from double gates on A511 is a PROW, then a short walk up "tram lines" through crop. Base of pillar surrounded by large stones which have presumably been ploughed up. Both sides of the A511 have a wild strip with trees and bushes limiting sight of anything you are passing: it is totally different by the pillar looking out over a wide area. Very good cycleway beside the A511 Ashby bypass.

Mikey and I had a good gallop over the stubble and went for our annual visit to the trig point. Mikey did his usual snorting then settled down. Then we ambled off.

I decided to stay on the path rather than walk across the field. Probably a good job as soon after a car drove past me.

All intact. Two weeks ago this was inaccessible due to wheat crop. Today field has been harvested and already reploughed ready for replanting.

Approached from the bridleway to the north, aross short stubble with no problems, but in a biting wind despite the sunny morning. I heard the first skylark of the year. Perhaps spring is coming?

Parked in Tesco and walked up the bypass to the trigpoint – the ground was frozen and the crop only inches high so no problem crossing the field – continued my walk along the Ivanhoe Way then back through South Wood, Wicket Nook and Bryan’s Coppice. The paths in these woods partially follow the route of the Ashby light railway that took limestone from Ticknall to the kilns and iron furnace at Moira. Interesting walk on a cold bright day.

Pillar in good condition, complete with all metalwork. This one has been on my outstanding list for a very long time. Today I was finally in the area with enough time to make a quick diversion from the footpath to the pillar.

As others - located in middle of field with crops - busy farm - so image taken from farm track - possible return another day to get closer.

Like others before me, it's about time I invested in some up-to-date maps, as the new road around Ashby threw me a bit. The pillar is accessed across a muddy field off the bridleway. Original plug - slightly indented letters. No paint. The concrete base is just about exposed at soil level. E sighthole open, others closed. Agricultural views all round.

At last! This is the last trig on my Coventry to Derby commute. I've various routes I take but have been passing by this trig deliberatly of late to spot when the crop was harvested. Timed it just right today. In one half of the field the bales were being loaded on to trailers and in the other half a tractor appeared to be lightly tilling or possibly sowing a new crop.

Right in the middle of a large crop field but we apprached by tractor tracks keeping out of view of the farm buildings. They've built a new road here which confused us a bit as it wasn't on our Explorer map. Plug with indented lettering.
