Drove all the way up to the trig. Very misty, no views. Need to go back on a better day.

2nd of 3 trigs today. This one was bagged on an 8.1 mile walk taking in this and Kilmar Tor trig. Afterwards we drove around to and bagged Kit Hill trig. After a bright start it got very cloudy on this hill. The mast was in the cloud but we managed to stay out.

Drive up (a treat and extremely rewarding), parking at side of road ~50m S of trig. Pillar has a 'BSM' style FB; original centre cap retained, raised lettering; LHD side sight hole open.

They don’t get much easier than this. Walked over the moor to Stowe's Hill and the Cheesewring, stopped for a drink in the local and then drove up to the masts.

Drove to within ½ mile of Trigpoint. Building work in progress around the mast and building. Trigpoint outside the work site. Lovely view over BodminMoor & DartMoor. Had to run back to the car as a blizzard arrived, it was a 'white out', lasted about 10 minutes.
