Halton Hill is a mountain summit in the Penrith to Lancaster region in the county of Lancashire, England. It seems a shame; they are part of our heritage and a tribute to what I think are amongst the finest map makers ever. To reach the third trig on this route requires an out-and-back dog leg, which perhaps lends itself to being cut from the route for anyone wishing to shorten it. Not sure if mentioned in the book, but there was one where the landowner "knew" the names of all the hills and insisted on his version being on the viewfinder, but the guy from whom he had commissioned it refused to come to the opening ceremony as he was so ashamed of it.

If you have far to go then please do at least venture across the dam to get the best view up the valley including the valve tower. Views over well farmed land towards Cockerham Marsh and the coast to the west and Bowland hills to the east. A pleasant lane climbed steeply through trees then opened onto hillside with the track badly eroded by running water which had defeated cobbled engineered drainage crossing the track.

This site can be used by Members for recording your trig bagging exploits, as well as suppliying you with the GPS waypoints of all the trigpoints. It was in April 18, 1936, that the first trig pillar was installed by mapping agency Ordnance Survey (OS). The spin I would put on this is that it's not a new walking project, but a continuation of a general trig-bagging endeavour; it's just focussing on a new map square.

I have visited some very remote places in Britain but also reached trigs that are located in very easy places to walk to. Stuck at home during the Covid-19 Lockdown I decided there had to be challenges I’d not done before right on my doorstep. From here keep following the posts and/or compass to eventually pick up the end of the old fence line which is marked on the map. Revisit Last time never saw a thing due to mist so came to re photograph the views from here were fantastic today! Beacon Hill is a mountain summit in the Ingleborough to Blackpool region in the county of Lancashire, England.

After 75m turn left, through the stile gate and take the path across the field to another stile gate. This section of the database looks at the Ordnance Survey triangulation artifacts I have visited on my walks.
