Its a re-visit but seeing the recent photos, there are some things you just have to do. Towards the back end of a 12 mile walk I purposely detoured to this trig to give it a bit of TLC. It now resembles something like its prime, I hope it lasts (but I doubt it). I apologise for not being able to coat the rear of the pillar (the wall side) as the paint ran out. Note for anyone else considering such action, I reckon you need at least half a litre of paint to generously cover a standard trig (not including any plynth it might be sat on)

Nicely sitting by the wood in the parking area. Good one to finish on ~:)

The surrounding area was strewn with litter and the Trig Point itself has received a good helping of spray paint type abuse

The penalty for being so close to a car park. Vandals!!!

In the area geocaching. Poor trig could use a coat of paint, but that might just give the local gutterlife a blank canvas!!

Easily acessible. In parking area just off the road from Ilkley to Beamsley Beacon. The area would seem to be used by the local pond life if the graffiti on the pillar is anything to go by. Not an imposing position but a nice view across the valley to Rombalds (Ilkley) Moor.

What an abomination. Trig covered in red graffiti and surrounded with rubbish. Worst I\'ve ever seen. Countryside ok though - on edge of moor above Ilkley. Bagged on a 20-mile round trip from Otley on the road bike. Beautiful day.

Ling Park, 245m Nice one Louis, you\'re famous.

The trig is now covered in graffiti and it looks as though someone has attempted to set a fire at the bottom of the trig.

1st of 4 today. Immediate location poor, surrounding countryside good. Portaloo and mud lane now removed. Lane on other side of trig now. Off to Beamsley now.

Yorkshire. Painted white, including the asphalt plug. Good views but the scruffiness of the area alongside the trig keeps the score down.

Judging by earlier photographs there must be some work going on around here. The wall has been knocked through and there is a lovely Portaloo next to the trig. Still the trig seems unharmed.

Weather poor today, no views, an incessant mist (hence the score) but the trigs OK. Still litter strewn despite there being a bin in the location - I guess the some people like to park up, 'enjoy the views' from the motorised chariot, have a butty, scoff a few sweets, dump their litter & junk and return to Moronville!!

Difficult to miss this one! Tendency for the vicinity to be used as a rubbish tip otherwise it would have had a better score.
