SITE VISIT

Parked in a layby in Lochawe near the church. Quite a slog up from the village on a hot day. The pillar surface is slightly weathered. The spider centre is open. The flush bracket faces east compass measurement 79°. All four sight holes are open, the pillar bolt is easily seen. Full 360° panorama from the top.
