Next up to be bagged was the New Croft trig point.
For the trip to find the New Croft trig point, I parked at Llanwarne car park (postcode: HR2 8JE) just to the side of St John’s Church.
It was early on a Sunday morning so it was empty. I headed up the road to the junction to the main road (B4348) after a left hand bend in the lane. From here, I took a right down to where there was a T-junction with Yew Lane.
There’s no need to go down the lane, leaving 2 other options – an access road and a driveway with a cattle grid to keep in a few bulls!
I took the access road, a muddy track that tractors took looking at the tracks! From here, it opened up into a big field. I followed the edge of the field to the left turn at the house / chicken factory place.
Along this section, there was a gap in the hedge on the right. After that, I headed into a different field with broccoli and sprouts.
The hedgerow was on my left and as I headed up to a telegraph pole.
I saw the trig point although pretty well hidden in the hedgerow. However, I couldn’t touch it, so looked for a route to get to the otherside of the hedge.
There was an opening in the hedge for agricultural vehicles.
I went through and doubled back to the telegraph pole where the New Croft trig point was a little less obscured and a little more accessible!
New Croft trig point bagged! That’s number 3 of 70!

It was back the way I came, however, the only thing different on the way back was the cows had moved up the field to have their breakfast!
