Bagged on circular walk after Howden TP. Approached from South then East along fenceline. Not visible from north side but backtracked along south side and found hiding amongst the gorse hedge.

Fromm SSW, parking at track start (NT 6738 2031). Signed FP runs due N along field boundary, then E. Pillar sits on S side of a big gorse hedge. Original centre cap retained, deeply indented lettering; front sight hole sealed, other 3 not checked due to dense gorse. Views S.

Same route as others, nice and quick - but the trig is well hidden in the gorse! Good views to Big Cheviot and Ruberslaw. Visited this trig in the hail and snow!

Route as 'beckroad'. No views to day due to low cloud and the start of the rain. Ulston and this trig can be done together as there is a track which connects the two.

Parked in a convenient layby at nt674204.Followed the Jedburgh Circular Route north along a hedgerow. A pasture field today full of sheep, thank goodness. Continued through another small gate and followed the gorse bush line eastward to another gate. This gate is not fastened. Walked through and there it is huddled within the gorse. Easier than expected. Spider is intact. This pillar has great views across to Carter Bar.

Round the potato field, over the gate and there it is, a trig-almost-in-a-hedge.

Now more or less clear of the gorse. Fabulous views on a sunny afternoon. Cheviot, Carter Bar and Dunion Hill all easily identifiable.

Followed town circular trail from Howden trig, great walk but a couple of wet bits. Quick jump over fence from path to trig. Border gorse toughest I've found so far, fortunately trig free of greenery. Drivers can get space on minor road directly south.

Me! Say hi if you meet me on the hills.

Parked at side of minor road from Crailinghall to Wildcatgate and followed field edges and climbed gate to reach the trig. Hedgerow trig with decent views.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there in the hedge and in good condition.

Follow the Jedburgh circular path from the south and then along the line of gorse to the summit. The pillar is in the densest bit. At least the vegetation is protecting the pillar from the attention of the cows.

Access to the spot is easy, thanks to a clear footpath - but when you get there, finding the pillar is another matter as it's totally swamped by gorse. When you do find it, inspecting it can be a painful business! The plug is original with deeply indented letters. No real paint. Sight holes appear closed. Good luck!!

Gorse now completely swamping the pillar, and the device in Iain's photo is just a couple of inches of pole sticking out the top. Access from North along local marked path.

Accessed from minor road to the north then taking footpaths. Pillar is somewhat covered by gorse which forms the hedgeline at this point. It is on south side of hedge. Some white paint remnants. Retains plug, large deep indented lettering.

Gorse has grown enormously and is almost engulfing this trig. Luckily FB is on the side facing out or you wouldn't get near it.
