The second Trig find (of five) during a long moorland run. Visibility was very poor when found, but the views would be stunning from that vantage point.

To be honest I'd had more than enough trigging in this heat but coinea convinced me we could fit one more in! After a very welcome toasted cheese barm from the food van I managed it but again the photo has to be black and white as my out in the sun all day red face has not gone away!

Parked in a large lay-by on Edenfield Road. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there up to the summit of Knowl Hill and the pillar, which is close to a toposcope. The pillar replaced an earlier pillar at the same location. The cap was missing, so I replaced it with a new one. The pillar could do with a fresh coat of white paint to get rid of the graffiti some moronic clown has placed on it. The top of the toposcope has been vandalised, with the plaque having been stolen

Smack bang on the Rochdale Way and looking at the erosion in the area a very popular trig to visit. If you erase the wind farms, there are wonderful views towards the north, east and west. Manchester doesnt count. Gifted to Lidl who have overtaken Covid in the most talked about subject in my town. A new store was opened a week ago. Keep the punters happy.

Well. A proper winter's day. Blue skies, frozen mud, icicles and everything. I didn't think I would ever see one again. Parked in the lay-by to the south and took a random path to the wind turbines. (A lot more than seem to be mapped on my OS). There was clear evidence of off-road bikes as mentioned elsewhere, but as I mention elsewhere a hard frost makes the going a lot easier. Reaching the first turbine takes little time so I planned to follow the vehicle track around clockwise just to make an afternoon of it. Now lots of people don't like wind turbines, (in their back yard), and lots of people don't like motor bikes, (off road). It did strike me that this could be the spot to dump them both. But ultimately I actually took to these giant white beasts. It's a surreal and reflective place. A complaint I've often heard is that turbines make a lot of noise. I didn't find that. A bike would drown their gentle whish. Another complaint is that birds suffer. I didn't notice bird food wildlife in abundance. Does that follow? Maybe in summer. We left the track and tackled the last hundred metres or so to the summit by heading due south. Another micro experience with the sun bobbing above and below the skyline and the bitiest wind blowing from the north. (No, it's not the turbines been causing all the gusts after all! :) ) Quite an achievement to regain full sun again. Still bloody cold though. I might up the score because of Owd Betts. Now OB should be the sort of pub I detest - it clearly makes its money from food - but I quite liked it. It stressed its openness to walkers, boots (good), and dogs (bad), but I wonder how many it gets. Still we felt welcome, and I noticed one "regular" who came in for a coffee and left. This is a pub in the middle of nowhere. Well done. Beer (a considerate 3.8%) highlighted as 3.4 beer miles just adds to the charm. Where was I? Oh yes. Make it 6 then.

Great views from around here. I first visited this trig during the Rossendale Fell Race on 16th Sept 1984. It was my fourth trig today and now only a short run to the car parked near Owd Betts pub.

Passed whilst out walking with my walking group, The Irregulars LDWA. Accessible and visible as on Open Access land and at the top of the hill. Pillar is in good condition apart from having its plug missing. Super all round views althoug the nearby wind farm detracts from it for me.

Looks like a gnome's garden with all the wind turbines. Very cold fine day, except for a few light snow flurries.

Not my first visit to the top of Knowl Hill but my first trigpoint logged! Always nice to be up here when the sun's shining as the view out over Manchester is great. A good view of the partially built Scout Moor Wind Farm from here too.

The trig point on Knowl Hill Some slight knocks and a bit of graffiti, but otherwise in good nick!

On very pronounced rounded hill. No plug. Graffiti. High number, so a more recent trig? Trig Tools DB has it as S2795, but spelt Knoll Moor, with grid ref perhaps 100m away from current position. Public
