Seldom visited trigs

[wheezing donkey]

Ah-Ah, Easington Fell, one of Boweland's five Marilyns .... Easington, White Hill, Ward's Stone (E), 1707 (Fairsnape), and Spire Hill (Longridge Fell)!

Don't attempt to mention Pendle Hill. It's the other side of that big drainage ditch, the Ribble Valley. The pinkey-lefty, bed-wetting, liberal commies at County Hall keep trying to tell us that it's in Bowland, when it ain't .... there's The Forest of Bowland and there's The Forest of Pendle!

There is actually a seldom visited trig ( a metre lower ) just 2 km to the SW, Waddington Fell and another just 2.5 km to the ESE, Beacon Hill ( Scriddles Farm on the OS Trigs website ) These three "points" make a good triangular run from the lay-by at the top of the Waddington Fell road, or indeed from the car park at The Moorcock.

Ceci n'est pas un trig...

...but it is certainly seldom visited; I've never met anyone there.

Looks a bit like Foel Fras? But I'm not sure it is as I can't think of four more neArby!

Assuming that your circuit of 5 trigs was:- Smearsett Scar, Moughton, South House / Sulber, Park Fell & Ingleborough? With the wall so close, the one in the pic must be South House?

[dantodman]

No and no, although I could see ingle borough from the trig before this one (it was quite a long way away though).

Very close to the wall that pillar. From the position of the sun i'm assuming it's a roughly N-S aligned wall with the trig on the western side...best i can do is Whernside or maybe Crag Hill.

My local trig growing up. Views of just about every major mountain in the lakes.

Well done Graham. I had to double check the map as I know it as Robin Cross Hill. A very strange one as you don't see it till your about 20 metres away. Any guesses on the 5 trigs ?
