(1996) Parking on Alton Lane. Short walk from there to the pillar. Nice little reserve, sporting a cold war bunker, a gritstone outcrop and a viewfinder. Good views to be had. And I'm led to believe that if it's a really, really clear day - and with the aid of a telescope - Lincoln Cathedral can be seen. Pillar in fine condition, though the centre cap is missing and replaced by asphalt. Pillar history: Built on the 3rd of March 1937, at a cost of Ł5 14s 1d. Last maintained by the OS in May of 1983.

Left the car at Ashover Parish Hall and took the PROW from SK350632 towards Farhill, passing through a couple of charming stone built underpasses. Once on the minor summit I turned SE to the pillar. An interesting location with heather, rocks, toposcope, cold war bunker and obviously a trig pillar !! Edge of one arm of the spider slightly exposed and cap replaced with tarmac but otherwise in good order. Heading for Spitewinter next - wonder if I passed Desperate Dan heading in the opposite direction ?

Cold war bunker nearby. So did someone sit down there, waiting for the Russian missiles? I see they had an air pipe, so that was a good way for the fall out to seep down to them. Pillar looked good, the rock looked good, the May weather was crap, so I added some blue sky on the picture to chear it up

Easily accessible and highly visible. Joint visit with Carole. We parked at the road junction to the north and used the footpath to gain access to the area and were then surprised to find numerous paths that took us directly to a rocky outcrop and the pillar. Everything in good order. As others have said the original plug is missing though. A really lovely viewing area.

The easiest of the trig pillars visited today. There’s a convenient ‘lay-by’ just south-east of the road junction and a footpath directly opposite that takes you up to the summit just a hundred yards or so away. There’s an old R.O.C. nuclear observation bunker right next to the pillar. The entrance hatch has been welded closed, unfortunately, so you can’t get down into this one… A pity, that. There’s also a ‘Veiwpoint’ giving direction and distance to local landmarks. The pillar is in good condition, apart from the missing centre plug, the hole being filled with tar-mac. The views would be excellent on a clear day (as you would expect for an R.O.C. bunker location) but it was a bit hazy this morning.

Went to Ashover May day festival, and just had to bag this one, nice climb out of Ashover, but once up at the trig some great views.

Easy walk up from the road on a warm spring morning. Great views all round on this suprisingly nice viewpoint. TP in good condition. There is also a Royal Observer Corp underground bunker here.

There are probably good views to be had on a nice day. Clearly visible is the matlock to chesterfield road, and I now know the rocky outcrop at this trig is easily visible from said road when you know where to look (when traveling towards matlock)

Three sighting holes open but couldn't see centre mark. Tarmac plug. Nice summit. Viewfinder and ROC post (lid secured) nearby. Overcast and breezy - vague views.

Good condition except plug replaced by tarmac (?). 3 of the 4 sighting holes at the bottom on the pillar are open, but could not see light through them.
