The base underneath the trig point is about 10ft long it shows how much material has vanished around it.

That's on deep peat, is it?

Whereabouts, G?

Same thing would have happened on the summit of The Cheviot many years ago. A considerable depth of peat, over a very wide area, had been washed away, so that the trig point was left standing high above the ground level on its deep concrete foundation. In that cas, it was shored up on all sides, and the paths approaching it were paved. (For those with a copy of my Pennine Way guidebook... there's a picture on page 204.)

Very many years ago I recall Cheviot trig point being on a small island surrounded by bog - you never reached the summit until you touched the trig point - never gave much thought at the time as to how my mother managed to get my trousers clean.

The top of Waun Fach in the Black Mountians is identical to that - fortunately it was dry when I was up there but there was some serious erosion.

In peat, the other issue is shrinkage is the peat is drying out (in which case, it will also be decomposing, causing further shrinkage).

Oops sorry. I've let this go a bit

Its Hawthornwthwaite in the forrest of bowland.

Certainly not shrinkage in this case , due to the amount of rain it is run off.

Thanks for the prod Milly

Was at Waun Fach last year and that looked like Hawthornwthwaite maybe 6 to 8 years ago. Maybe it's the future.
