It was cloudy and misty so the views were not as great as described...and a boggy path up and down.

Staying nearby so thought we would pay a visit, was a bit damp as we arrived, during our walk of 10.2 miles. Trig could do with a lick of paint and some tender loving care to bring it back to its former glory.

Bagged 3.5 miles into Punk Panther Endurance Events 'Skipton Skedaddle' 20 mile race as the highest point on the route (the real hardcore/ultra runners did 50 miles incl Pen Y Ghent). A beautiful blue-sky morning but very boggy ascent and descent following all last week's rain

A high marking for this pillar since it sums the day up completely. A fantastic winters day, superb conditions and light. Walking the Kendal Limestone Way and rejigged the start from Skipton to go over DHW ( last ran in 3 days in 2013). Good decision. The only people I saw all day were on this pillar. Gifted to the £2 bus fares introduced nationally, Kendal to Skipton was £4.

Parked on the sharp bend of Bog Lane and set off on the Dales High Way. Soon veered off to the left to avoid a herd of suckler cows but didn't loose sight of the top. The bench by the wall just below the summit is placed in an inspired position. Fine drizzle in the air restricted views today but didn't spoil the walk. We dropped down to a gate in the corner to the west and headed back to Bog Lane via the good track through Crag Wood. On reaching the car found out that No2 grandson had been delivered at 14.56 while I was stood next to the pillar. Welcome to the world Jenson William.(son-in-law is a F1 fan!)

Climbed up a few low level peaks, including Sharp Haw, from Hetton. Nice walk on a warm sunny day spoiled by the Angel in Hetton refusing to serve us a beer even though there was seating available outside. Had a nice pint in the Devonshire Arms in Cracoe that saved the day.

Bagged Sharpah whilst on a good - if wet - 6.5 mile Frank Wilkinson walk from c.1999 from Flasby. We took in Crag Wood, Sharpah (Sharp Haw) and both ends of Rough Haw to complete a fine round of Flasby Fell. The pillar has a chunk missing from one base corner, and the foundations have been exposed by the eroding soil, but it is in otherwise good condition. Fine views across Airedale, over to Cracoe Fell and beyond. Unfortunately the rain, wind and cold affected the pictures quite badly on this one.

A superb walk, mix of mighty view from the West Pennine up to the edges of Nidderdale. Day varying from a scent of Spring and pale warmth to icy blasts and crunching reeds. A land of watersheds looking at the hint of dales and valleys all around us. Grassington Road layby, Bog Lane, High Dales Way, both sides of Flasby Beck and a blaze of sunset viewed from Rough Haw.

From Rough Haw Pendle in the distance...of course

Walked up on a revisit with future son-in-law as he was doing some filming for Visit Skipton.I came across what I think is supposed to be a Toposcope,I presume the top as been stolen already.A very shoddy piece of workmanship to say the least very disappointing attempt at a Toposcope.My wife commented on seeing the photo's that her class of 9yr old's could have done better.

A last minute decision to have a few days away from home walking. I caught the train to Skipton and I was soon climbing a very water logged field on a footpath North from near the castle. Across the A56 and a golf course to a lane to turn West. Dark clouds were heading my way as I set off up the track toward Sharp Haw summit and there was soon a sharp shower. I could spot the neighbouring pillar to the East on Crookrise Crag. Followed ROWs on to Cracoe to catch the bus to Kettlewell.

Nice walk up this pinnacle from the Skipton side. Windy on top but clear with fantastic 360o views particulary westwards towards Pendle Hill etc. Trig has a chunk missing from one lower corner and some concrete coming away from top. Plastic plug. One sight hole open.

A fairly boggy plod up from Flasby to Rough Haw and its cairn, followed by an easier stroll across to Sharp Haw (or Sharpah to give it its "local" name). Trig is slightly damaged. Views were fine in all directions today - uncommonly clear for late October, but very windy at the summit!

Good views all round today. Did a small loop to include Cragg Wood. It is Sharp Haw, but the locals call it Sharpah, and they call Rough Haw (next to it) Roughah. So the OS used the local name. 1 metre SE of the pillar there is a circular plate in the ground. Maybe a Bernsten benchmark? Anyone know? Nothing on the OS records I could find

An oft visited pillar but this is the first time since I started this bagging game. Easy access and highly visible. I walked up from Tarn House Lane on the much walked path - quite boggy considering the incessant rain of the last few days. A wonderful location made even more so by the weather on a day that you could see for ever. There is some slight damage to the easten corner of the pillar and it has a plastic plug.

Very graceful profile for such a low hill. The trig had been adorned with an artificial red rose. A leftover from St George's Day? A superstitious attempt to prevent Labour getting a kicking in the upcoming local elections? Who can say...

The score is left at 5 because the rain was coming down in stair rods and visibility was down to 50 yards or so. The damage is slight, a piece of concrete missing off one corner. I have taken up the circular artifact on the ground adjacent to the column with Ord.Surv. They say definitely it is not one of their marks. The RICS know nothing of the mark, so there you are. Any ideas anyone?

Visited to record FB number. The pillar was completed 25th May 1949 costing £23.7s.11d. In 1951 this marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station SD96/T40 in the Skipton secondary block. Flush bracket S5498 was levelled for height also in 1951. This trig point was last maintained by the OS in May 1976.
