Fine views and pillar in good condition, but a bit of a pity that there is only one route up/down. An alternative to the north via the fields would be nice.

A nice walk up to this trig although it was a disappointment that the footpath ends at the pillar (I took the advice of Axe Edge and descended east towards the cricket ground, I did have to negotiate a barbed fence though, into some woodland). The views are stunning and the pillar is in good nick. so thats another one "nabbed"

Came here directly from a very sunny Kerridge Hill, but poor winter weather had rolled in by the time I'd climbed to the Nab Head trig, which was eerily covered in mist. Very atmospheric, especially as there wasn't a single person about. Visibility down to 50 feet, but I'm told the views are stunning on a clear day. Very slippy steep climb /descent on an icy day!

3/3 Nab Head lives in the shadow of Kerridge Hill and White Nancy. It doesn't help that the public footpath stops at the pillar. Descend east to Pott Shrigley cricket club (unmarked paths) will give you a short cut to bag Sponds Hill. I didnt tell you this. Feeling nostalgic. I gift these trigs today to freedom, we dont know what it is, until we lose it. Count our blessings.

Third of four trigs, came down from the distinctive White Nancy monument through Bollington and up Nab Head. Strange how a mile further along a walk can change the views so much. Good views W and E. Spotted a deer which had spotted us and a kestrel which gave a fine flying display. Dunno why, but I had to stand on top of this one. On to Spond Hill NE.

Excellent viewpoint. This trig has its own public right of way. However, you're made to feel slightly unwelcome. Firstly there's a heavy gate across the start of the path. This is almost immediately followed by two large "Private" signs (the ROW veers to the left here). Finally, 20ft short of the trig is a notice stating "End of public footpath, return the way you came".

Eventually used the route from Pott Shrigley cricket ground as I couldn't find the path from Bollington. The pillar has all the original metalwork incuding the plug. The flush bracket appears to have been recently polished clean. No paint left. Concrete base is about 1 foot above grass level and there is quite a lot of erosion around it. A short distance to the south is what appears to be a filled-in mine shaft. Good views in all directions.
