Up until recently, the Hey Edge trig point symbol wasn’t visible on the OS map App, however I’ve since spotted it. On the OL1 map it still only shows as the word pillar and no blue triangle, so be sure not to miss it out! Trig bagging is also a great activity for families, especially if you look for pillars that are located on smaller hills. Let your children show you the way by map and compass.

They’re easy to shoo away!

Height data for trig points in this database is typically only accurate to 10m, this is due to the way the data has been collated and extracted, not in any way due to the accuracy of the OS, which is of course is generally faultless.Parked on Naze Lane East. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there, joining at SD 43370 28359. PRoW was a complete mudbath (and in places was completely flooded), but continued along it to SD 43406 27328, before veering south east across the trig field up to the pillar. The cap was missing, so replaced it. Great views of the River Ribble from the pillar Margery Hill is the only Ethel on this walk. However, if you wanted to add some extra miles (2 to be exact) then the County Top of Yorkshire – High Stones (Howden Edge) is approximately a mile further on from Margery Hill. Followed the signs to Naze cottage until we reached the right of way. Mrs MD jumped out and walked the 500 feet to the trig, while Mr MD turned the car around, avoiding the cows. The walk then took us down the other side of the hill and along the bridleway until we reached the road. Here, Mr R decided we should head up to Cown Edge to bag another Peak District Peak for our Peak District Peak Bagging Challenge so we set off up Monks Road. Parked at start of footpath on road to South. 5 minute walk uphill, then footpath to left. Good views on a sunny afternoon.

On the Ethel bagging challenge there are 3 Ethels on this walk – Mill Hill, Harry Hut and Lantern Pike Two of the three trigs are also Ethels on this walk, Revidge and Blake Mere; however you’ll see this named Merryton Low on the Ethel list, just to be different :). Some of the pillars may have been moved, removed or you may need the landowners permission to visit them. The Triangulation Pillar is now surrounded by a new fence encircling the field containing the pillar We’d driven past Lantern Pike so many times on our way to other Peak District peaks and it was lovely to walk this Lantern Pike circular walk. You could make the route shorter, by only walking Lantern Pike, or not going up Cown Hill, but this walk took us over beautiful countryside and gorgeous moorland so is definitely worth doing.

Once you are registered as a member this link will allow you to 'bag' those trigpoints on the major hills of britain. If anybody is thinking of visiting this by the coastal route..don’t, unless you wear waders. No path as it is on the edge of the estuary and about as muddy as muddy gets. Not too bad coming in from the north, still muddy but ok. Very wet in the field where the trig is too. All will be fine in a drought no doubt Second today on circular walk from Hurst Green. One side of pillar is painted pink/purple - much prefer white!!
