Parked on side lane near Heald House Farm. Walked along (busy) road which felt quite hazardous. Trig is behind hedge on north side of road, basically one field length away from Heald House Farm just after a stand of holly bushes.

This is one of those Trigs where the hardest part is finding somewhere safe to park. I don' like parking in front of gates, but the one past the burn by the Mobberley sign is the only real option. From there a short walk along the road to the gate and into the field where the pillar sits in the corner. No real views, but the field isn't unpleasant.

I had a different route to this but Mr U2 spotted a route through the hedge which was closer, this involved negotiating the barbed wire and brambles and then on the way back emerging from the hedge onto the main road a ground level head first!

Stormy downbursts = sneaky bags near Manchester, no wonder I've done so many this year. Up and down the road we drive then - stop there it is! I've done hill top trigs more quickly!

Not changed since the last visit by a trigger!

Second of two trigs of the day on the way to the airport. Found place to pull in W of the woodland on the N side of the road, found a gate to clamber over in to the field but couldn't find the trig. Advice: turn right instead of left once in the field over the gate and find the trig adjacent to the hedge. Clear some ivy off it if you have the time, this one looks like it may get lost in the vegetation. No views, but plenty of jet noise.

Metal plug [indented letters]. Private [?nearby Heald House Farm]. Difficult to spot from the busy road [speeding traffic - take care on the carriageway]. After crossing the field gate, look right along the hedge for the pillar. Only interesting thing about it is the odd, unexplained name - any ideas, anyone?
