Follow the same directions as Carl, I parked slightly further along the road at a barn then walked back. The gate isn’t so rusty now and the protective fence has vanished. This has improved the location greatly.
Standing at almost 2m in height, a fine stone in a flat field which makes for easy viewing.
A nice easy start to the day.
