Finally, the first break of the year. Staying in Cannock and this is my first ever visit to the Chase. There seems to be plenty of trig action around here. Parked over the road and visited the Glacial Boulder and then the trig point which appeared in good condition, with recentish paintwork. I'm liking Cannock Chase.

My first visit to Cannock Chase and I just couldn't get over the proliferation of deer on the sides of the road as we approached this trig point. Pillar was gleaming white. Two points of interest were the nearby glacier stone on a pedestal and the through route of the Cross Britain Way, which I hadn't previously taken much notice of.

Enjoying a lovely walk on Cannock Chase… I thought this was an interesting trig point because you could not see it from far away which makes it a bit of a useless trig point in my mind! Met up with a lot of tired and hot children here carrying great big heavy rucsacs… they were doing the D of E Award and they were lost! We felt quite sorry for them and helped them the best we could.

Parked on Chase Road. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there up to the pillar. This pillar was a replacement for one that was in the same area. Has a replacement plug (asphalt). Is within Cannock Chase Country Park near the glacial boulder.

This trig is near the Glacial Boulder on Cannock Chase. Set upon a pedestal of Triassic pebbles, the boulder is of Granite which is out of place here on the Moorlands of South Staffordshire, there being no granite outcrops anywhere in the Midlands. The boulder has been matched however, to the intrusive rock outcrop at Cniffel in Dumfries & Galloway, which is over 170 miles (280km) away from the Chase in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. This granite 'erratic' is marked on the OS map as the "Glacial Boulder", which gives some idea how it got here. The boulder was ripped from its parent mountain sometime during the last Ice-Age, and was transported by glacial action to its present location, the journey perhaps taking ten-thousand years during which the edges of the rock were worn down, giving its present rounded appearance.

re-visit. Arrived from Acton Trussell pillar via Brocton. Had to stop with cars on way up hill for a small herd of deer to cross the road. I think its the Morridge in the Staffordshire Moorlands and not the White Peak on the Northern horizon, often having been stopped and looking out the opposite way. Only just a grey smudge today.

A rather stunning spot, always wanted to do the Chase having been something of a mythical great forest from days living near Stoke. Fair to say this part is beautiful the part to the East a tad grim. Nice views out to the White Peak as the stormy skies come in from Shropshire with some deluges to make the journey home on the M6 that little bit more M6ish.

Ninth and last pillar of day on a circular half day's cycle tour from Rugeley. Stony and difficult path from the east across the Chase from The Butts.

Visited whilst on a geocaching circular walk around the Chase. Nice views from the trig, which is in good condition. Interesting boulder nearby too.

I must have been past this one hundreds of times in the past as I lived 5 miles down the road for over 20 years and spent many many happy hours wandering across the Chase. Its GREAT to be back in the area and getting a few of the trigs logged :)

...27 minute walk across Sherbrook Valley to Brocton Field and the glacial erratic boulder from The Butts. Last of six trigs for the day and a good day it has been. Stopped raining as I arrived at first and started to rain again as I arrived back at the car. I thought I'd better walk to at least one trig point during the circuit. AEH39 you have some catching up to do!!! Pity about the wilful damage to the info plates on the boulder - chavs!

Did not realise what the nearby boulder was till I read Keiths log. Someone has nicked the brass off the top of it. Must be the credit crunch. My first visit to the Chase. Bagged this one and then and the other one to the east and did some caching too. Cold day with light snow showers but much better than being inside.

Within the Cannock Chase country park, near a glacial boulder display. Stone plug. OK condition. Public (It was very clever of the glacier to leave the boulder perched up like that!) But if the original number was S1975, then what of Hillend in Square SO, which has that number??

The last pillar for the day - still got two caches to find and by now it was raining. This pillar is by the glacial boulder and its carpark. Quite white painted. Asphalt plug replacement. N sighthole open, others closed. Concrete base exposed by up to 12" all round. Good views from here over the Chase as I know from earlier visits but today it was very murky.

Middle of the Chase, near an glacial erratic. Looking a bit battered, has a rather high number for these parts. Easy access, a drive up. I wonder if the high number signifies that this pillar was a replacement for The Butts, across the valley, as this point was over planted with conifers. This is not the case.. The pillar here is a rebuild.. The original pillar's number was 1975 - been looking for 1975 near Stafford :-) )

Token date: early visits not recorded. Grew up on the Chase and visited this spot many times 1970s, usually by bike, sometimes en route from school at Walton - and occasionally before that, while S1975 was in place. Only early(ish) photos found are of the glacial boulder a few m W
