Easy to find at the side of forestry track between Peafield Lane (A6075) and the Old Churn Oak. Bagged on an 8 mile circular route taking in Spa Ponds, the River Maun, Parliament Oak, a failed attempt to bag Bradmer Hill as noone was present to seek permission at the haulage yard and returning via the fishing lakes. A pretty and varied walk from my doorstep

I parked in the lay-by and from there it was a very short walk along the PROW to the pillar. It is in pretty good condition though the holes at the base are blocked. Moss is growing at the base but I think that adds something positive to its overall appearance. It retains the original spider and centre a d it looks as though visitors maybe leaving food for the birds etc on the top. I took the time to continue a short distance along the PROW to visit Old Churn Oak - one of the oldest remaining Sherwood Forest Oak trees. Views are limited due to the woodland.

(1797) Woodland entrance for parking just off the A6075 - Peafield Road. Short walk to the pillar from there and it sits on the LHS of the track. Nearly totally hidden by vegetation, but soon found. Plastic centre cap aside it's all in decent condition. Pillar history: Built on the 16th of March 1937, at a cost of £4 13s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in April of 1983.

One of those local trig points that I've been near to dozens of times without ever realising it was there. Presumably older than the trees that surround it. Good condition, but looks a bit sorry for itself with nettle growth around base and timber stacks crowding round it.

Do not on any condition know matter how keen you are visit in shorts (in Summer)! Photos on the site lead me to the right gate - gave up, parked at Parliament Oak (limited) and walked up whilst a terrific thunderstorm gathered to the east...it must be here, so round the back of the track (brambles) and it's spotted - only the slightly higher bracken and nettles give a clue where it is from the track. First Nottinghamshire trig.

The pillar is just on the edge of the wood bordering the NE side of the track a short distance in from the road. As first encountered, it was deep in bracken but quite easy to get close. The FB faces away from the track and the plug has been replaced by a cap. The top of the pillar looks unusually concave.

Easy bag but was again impressed by lack of fly tipping. Considering the semi urban location of many Nottinghamshire trigs they don't seem as bad as many similar Scottish ones for this particular curse of modern society. (See http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=6454 for a similar trig in Fife that has a real problem.)

So, Lincoln's first away match of the year so couldn't resist a quick nip to Mansfield. Dire game and apparantly about to lose the manager. At least there were some trigs to ease the gloom! This one is on a forest track, just off the A 6075. Plastic plug replacement; no paint. E sighthole open, others closed. No views at all due to the conifer trees - but a big notice saying 'Shooting in Progress' so beat a hasty retreat.. They could have done with some shooting at the match!
