Steep walk from Tiverton up the B road to footpath, and back via Exe Valley Way route. Trig situated upon hedge, completely covered in ivy (so much so that walked straight past it and took a few minutes to find). Spotted due to small part of plinth exposed and slightly raised top of hedge. Trig a stones throw away NW of the aerial tower and big lone tree. Flush bracket around the back and an awkward shift to get to. Spider and plug missing with obvious damage to the top.

Parked in small pull in on Exeter road. Walked up rough farm track. Trig is in hedge on high plinth. Possible damage from hedge trimming which was being done when I walked up there!!!

It’s there, but needs a good trim with some loppers if you want to get to flush bracket.

Only just visible in the hedge from the track. Hedge has been left longer around it so with all the ivy on it too, it will soon become invisible.

Parked at start of footpath on the opposite side of the track to the trig. Just enough room for my wee hire car. Walked up rough mast track and stopped at 0m no obvious sign of trig but rough path up bank visible. Hoping I wouldn’t have to climb said muddy nettled and brambled bank, I walked up to the mast and round into the field on the other side of the hedge. Access even worse that side as barbed wire fence to content with first. Back round to tother side and a climb up the bank required to hug the trig and get a photo of the flush bracket which faces into the field. There are some handy branches to grab onto and the missing spider and top of trig means you can also grab the centre pole hole for support. Survived but only just, getting off the bank was no easier!

Probably easier found in the winter when it's more visible from the path. It's damaged, but still worth the visit.

On hedge bank in hedge, S side of track,NW of comms mast. Sadly, it has come off worse in an argument with a hedge trimmer.

Had actually given up hope of finding it but by some wild fluke managed to see a little bit of concrete poking out of the hedge on my way back to the bike.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there with a very badly damage top.

Quite hard to find as hedge growth as taken over since last trig baggers' photos were posted. Top of trig very eroded.

Top damaged; no cap or plug. The Unofficial flush bracket Register group bagged our last trig pillar here today. Between the 25 of us we've bagged every OSGB pillar - 6255 between us, including about 100 which are no longer there. The Devon weather produced a celebratory rainbow!

Located on a vehicle track off a minor road to the south of Tiverton. This was our first bag en-route to Bideford to get the ferry to Lundy. Pillar is well and truly buried in the hedgerow with a very damaged top exposing most of the spider.

I liked this trig - for no other reason than it was an easy walk up from the road on a nice sunny day. it peeps above the hedge which has engulfed it in the shadow of a Crown Castle mast site. One corner has been lopped off by a hedge-trimmer which must have caused some expensive damage to the trimmer! Nearest pub is the Butterleigh Inn which looks interesting but I didn't go in.

It's in that bit that sticks up over the hedge!

I missed this one as I walked up the lane because it looks like an ivy-covered tree stump, but more obvious from inside the field. GR to 10m only. I didn't climb up to note the damage reported by mickandshane but assumed this was still the case.

It's up the track just before the mast on the right. Lumps of concrete missing from the top, as is also the plug.
