With the nights drawing in I picked a short walk for my evening hill this week. I attempted to access from the bridleway to the south, farm machinery blocking the way and then couldn't see the way past the obnoxious new extensions and parking area at the next farm so dropped back to the road and came up from the footpath to the west. No problems that way, once up there a peaceful summit.

2023 gets off to an excellent start. Walked up from Tesco's at Sowerby Bridge for the full climbing experience. There are a number of ways to this one, South Pennines has so many tracks and paths. Approached from a track heading NW after Scar Hall. From here Crow Hill looks dominant and steep but you are at the pillar before you know it. In good condition, original cap with almost totally faded writing. A paint job is required here soon. Good South Pennine views on a lovely sunny day.

Parked on Shaws Lane. Took the public right of way from there up to the pillar. There is a stile along the route which is extremely slippery in wet weather and which requires great care when climbing over. This was my 700th pillar!

(2536) High Stones Road for parking. Then followed the PRoW straight to the pillar - nice and simple! Weather a bit of a mixed bag, blustery and drizzle, but nothing too bad. Though the low cloud cover wouldn't allow for any views. Steep climb up the hill at the end. Pillar in fine overall condition though an tidy up and a new coat of paint wouldn't go amiss, if the truth be told. Still sporting its original centre cap. Pillar history: Built on the 17th of December 1947, at a cost of £10 19s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1986.

Fantastic views from here this morning, could see Eggborough power station, Emley Moor towers, Stoodley Pike and loads of other hilltops. I even came across some Highland cattle on the way down from the top. Only downside of the visit was that many of the gates on the rights of way were chained and locked forcing unnecessary climbing and detours.

I had planned to approach from Water Stalls Lane near Pitts Farm but the track was blocked by a somewhat annoyed and bellowing bull. Discretion being my middle name I back tracked and came up across some rather boggy ground from Long Edge Moor. Either way I made it to the top and the very visible all over white painted pillar.

Done at the end of a long higgledy piggeldy walk from Walsden to Mytholmroyd, the visibility wasn't too great upon reaching the trig - made a detour simply to bag it. Revisited on 07/04/2007 & have upped the original score a point as the view today, on a sunny (but slightly hazy) April afternoon was good. Path to the trig has been widened by horse access off the adjacent bridleway, there's even tethering posts adjacent the trig! No cars, on foot.
