I can see the summit from Whaley Bridge and can confirm it's gone, the good news for Ethel baggers is that the 'true summit' is actually north of the old Quarry alongside the ROW Footpath so the Trig isn't needed for Ethel bagging.
Funny really that I wild camped on chinley churn last Friday and went to look at the trig. Thought I’d be able to see it from the wall, which I didn’t bother climbing. Now I know why.
This is a bit of a Catch 22 situation...on one hand you have the landowners annoyance at willful or even unintentional damage ...on the other hand you have the genuine folk like yourself who simply would like the privilege to visit ...as most of the land in the Peak National Park is managed by the Government I think it should be between them and the farmers to discuss access and consessionary paths...saying that I was walking up the consessionary path to Minninglow a couple of weeks back and there was a family with children and the children were chasing lambs and climbing over a Drystone wall and stones were getting dislodged...It is sad that the few are ruining it for the many and it seems to be getting worse and farmers do have the right to do what is necessary to protect their property ...Aleck Low is not open Access like many but when visiting I asked permission off the landowner and he was very gracious and a little shocked but pleased to be asked...like I said a catch 22 situation...apart from talks between The National Park and Landowners there is no easy solution...Cheers Les 🙂👍
Completely up to the farmers what they decide to do, it's their land. Doesn't give us an automatic right for anyone to wander on to it, just because it has a trig on it
Sad times Dan. We know the said farmer. So next time we see him. When ?? Who knows I can do but ask could it be relocated closer to the open excess land on the old quarry working.

That's too bad. Thanks for the video brother
A sad day...i know the Hampole wood trig well...lets hope the farmer moves it onto access land
