I reached this pillar but it wasn't an easy approach. I took a footpath at the junction of Wilpshire Rd and Whalley Old Rd (heading south). It brought me to Tan House Farm where things became very confusing. A barbed wire topped locked gate stopped me in my tracks. The map marks a public footpath through but there was no obvious way through. A way marker to the left of the gate pointed towards a very overgrown gap between buildings. Clearly unused for a long time. I managed to navigate through at the cost of multiple nettle stings. This was sending me in the wrong direction so I decided to go across the field behind the farm. No further way markers even though the map tells me I'm on a RoW so i continued then headed north up to the pillar. phew.

This was a bonus bag. We were heading home in the rain and the pillar could be spotted easily from the road. Parked up in the gateway, donned wet weather gear and simply walked through the sheep field to the pillar. Nice views to the south, not so expansive in other directions. Stopped off for a beer in the Lord Nelson in the Lancastrian village of York afterwards.

Couldn't find large lay-by next to “Welcome to Great Harwood” sign. So parked at the end of the farm entrance being careful not to block it as plenty of signs saying no parking. Then across cattle grid for a short walk to the trigpoint. Also. YSM0089 Windy Bank

Nice views. This one is also a YOSM cache, so 2 for the price of 1. Got a nice sunset pic.
