Parked just off the B6278 at the parking shown on the 1:50000 at 997307 intending to follow the footpath shown heading NE. Absolutely no trace of it anymore resulting in a mile or so of off-piste heather bashing until we reached the marked track just to the SW of Pawlaw Pike; the rest was easy. Good views on an overcast and blustery (but dry) day.

Parked up on the road to St John’s Hall to E, then ran along the track westwards past the Elephant Trees, then a short bash over the heather to the trig on Pikestone Fell. Next I headed E and bagged the trig at Five Pikes, before returning along the track to the car (but not before a quick lake circumnavigation of a dryed-up lake at the top of Hole Beck)

Lots of quarries, mine shafts and a never ending sequence of mini escarpment slopes to ascend before arriving at this trig. Howden Burn is worth an explore. Parked at Bollihope 2nd trig of the day after following a fig of 8 route incorporating Catterick Moss.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there and remains in a good condition.

Cycled with some walking, from Pikestone Fell. Pillar has some cracks & some slight edge damage in places, but overall it scrapes in with good condition. Good 360deg views.

Walked in from B6278 on shooters tracks to Trig and then onto Pikestone Fell. Lots of Grouse, Golden Plover but no other walkers, lovely.

Lots of moor burning going on - I thought it had been banned! Air was full of smoke as there was good cloud cover and little wind!

Unsurprisingly, footpath from SW doesn't exist on the ground. Recommend previewing from Google Earth to find a better route - especially if recently and currently heavy rain!
