Todays trig position couldn’t be clearer on the map and even though I consider myself to be a good map reader, I decided to use the What 3 Words app (BRILLIANT) today as my last experience driving to the ‘nearest’ postal code was somewhat off. Unfortunately Wolvey Heath (No. 54 in the Leicestershire and Rutland Trig Bagger Challenge Logbook) is another trig on private land and the best I could do was zoom in for the pic and then zoom in on the photo for an even closer pic. The large metal barrier on the entrance to the track that would take you up to the trig had an electric device on it that would detect movement, be warned! Nevertheless, a beautiful day and another trig in the bag.

(2664) Smockington Lane for parking next to the field entrance. Quickly under the barrier and then up the track to the water tower and there she was. Pretty much totally engulfed in greenery with just the very top popping out. All in good condition and still retains its original centre plug - with lightly indented lettering. Pillar history: Built on the 9th of November 1938, at a cost of £4 1s 8d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1978.

Kept on NE to A5 where there's a handy short section of cycleway to reach the Burbage road on the far side.

Parked in front of gate and walked up to the trig which is under the water tower. The car must have been clocked on the CCTV because the farmer was out after 5mins or so to check what we were up to. Luckily the missus had stayed in the car and was able to do the 'sorry my husband is embarrassing and insists on bagging trigs' routeen. Dont expect she had to do much acting.

Adjacent to telco mast and water tower, and like most pillars in this part of the world the views are rolling flattish farmland. Metal cap, shallow letters, s/holes all buried, vgc.

Midway between a harvested but unplughed cereal field and a fodder-crop field. SW sighthole open, the rest closed. Just a slight trace of paint.
