Lovely walk up from the road. Followed walls then a wee path to the trig.

Got to get a high score today. Walked up from Silsden, thigh deep snow in places, no tracks in the snow for much of the walk, only saw two others during the 3 hours I was out. Fantastic views, bright but (very!) chilly, a great short walk.

Walked from Burley in Wharfedale via Rombalds Moor Trig. Beautifully sunny but bitterly cold. Snow and frost made walking easier.

Easily accessible and visible. I also approached this one from Whetstone Gate along path (feint at times) keeping to northern side of wall. Just one wall crossing needed on nearing pillar. Extremely wet for time of year with evidence of oil in some of the boggy bits. Pillar in good condition apart from the missing plug leaving the centre open to the elements. Glorious views across the purple heathered moorland.

Walked up from Ilkley and back via Rombalds Trig. Lovely sunny day - nice place to stop and listen to the Radio 4 News at 1pm. Slight damage to the top of the trig.

Walked along from Rombalds Moor (with diversion to Whetstone stud) good views on an improving afternoon. Back to Ilkley via Swastika Stone.

A fresh and windy morning. Linking the trig to local caches. The plug is missing but the screws have been left.

Just a short detour up a steep and heathery slope from the path running from Addingham High Moor to Ilkley brings you to this trig point. Excellent all-round views on a day such as this. Pendle in the west, Buckden Pike in the north, Beamsley Beacon to the east and The Cow & Calf rocks above Ilkley to the south-east. But what an absolutely stupid name for this trig point! Who on earth gave it this name? Over Gate Croft Farm is over a mile away to the north, half way down the hill into Addingham. Why not be totally stupid and name it 'Addingham Village Hall' trig point?! 'Addingham High Moor' is a far more appropriate and sensible name for it.

One of my favourite local trigs (lots of visits both before and after this log). Its Addingham High Moor really - John, Over Gate Croft (and presumably the farm) is about a mile directly north of the trig. On a good day theres a grand view up the lower Wharfedale valley towards Bolton Abbey and over much of the surrounding area. To the NW there is a stile at the field corner and faint paths following either wall at left or right takes you to the main ROW. No cars, on foot.

Hiked over from Rombalds Moor (Ilkley Moor) to get to this one using the footpath initially to the south and then the north of the stone wall. I had just the one boggy bit to contend with.

High on western edge of Ilkley Moor, if you visit this trig then make sure you also visit the Swastika Stone and the Doubler Stones.
