Meh. 
A lovely circular walk around the surrounding woods and canal made it worthwhile. 
Orca mistook the green vegetation of the Leeds-Liverpool canal for a verdant meadow and subsequently went head first without hesitation. | Alfa1M | 24/09/2023 |
A very uninspiring corner of a car park, so included a walk around the nearby church and impressive graveyard. | justin_j_evans | 08/05/2023 |
Not quite oxygen tanks left on Everest, but a hill top still in need of a damn good clean. | summitter | 30/08/2022 |
Visited because we were close by, parked in car park and felt underwhelmed, got out, got back in, sighed about the amount of rubbish, and then realised it was Wigan rather than Lancashire so not really part of our target county. But nice windmill down the road from it and some beautiful daffodils around the area so all was good. | nickywood1 | 16/04/2022 |
called in on way to Rivington and Winter Hill | JK | 12/02/2022 |
A walk in a pub car park. | bolton | 19/11/2020 |
Far corner of pub car park. | CreakingHiker | 12/11/2020 |
walked up through pub car park to top right corner. Car park was busy with people parked for junior school pick-up round the corner, so don’t recommend doing this at 3-3:30pm on a school day. | KeithByTheC | 11/11/2020 |
cycled from Preston 44 miles | colinfielding | 06/11/2020 |
I actually parked on this one and then went for a walk down to the canal and around Haigh Hall. Nice walks around there. | Nick Caunt | 30/12/2019 |
Walked around the car park. | Andrew Pearson | 14/10/2019 |
Parked on Nightingale Road in Blackrod and made the short walk to the summit. We then followed rights of way to Haigh, which made a pleasant walk. With JT. | Sprog | 16/06/2019 |
3 of 6 on 32 mile bike ride including roscoe Lowe, blackrod, haigh, healey nab, hough hill and pike lowe. Not much to say it’s a pub car park | The-Z-Man | 27/03/2019 |
Parked almost opposite the pub, crossed the road and into the car park | moorsman | 08/03/2019 |
Can almost park on the summit. | David Evans | 04/03/2019 |
After Cartridge Hill on way to Helsby | nordicstar | 28/12/2018 |
As others before. | Wheelsy | 07/08/2018 |
Bagged this most unremarkable urban tump with the Blackrod tump from Blackrod | Wayne Mac | 15/06/2018 |
Horrible litter strewn pub car park. If the car park is that horrible I would not want to drink or eat in it. | clivevilla | 12/04/2018 |
Pub car park. Had a look over the wall (fence?) to the school grounds, could be higher but not definite. | jonglew | 25/12/2017 |
1st of 7 tumps & 1 boundary today. Train to Manchester Oxford road, Train to Bolton then 575 bus to Aspull. Walked up Haigh road, turned right and I was on it. Explored corner of pub car park but banking half-way down is higher. Car sales back yard is lower but right at the back it is comparable, next to tree Stump, primary school ground looked as high. Continued to Blackrod. Wigan completed. | Dazingdale | 25/11/2017 |
Uninspiring but at least the pub was open and the beer wasn't bad. | IWC | 08/09/2017 |
Hardly worth turning the engine off | Longwojo | 11/08/2017 |
Parked about a kilometer away to make a decent walk of it | bardolph | 05/02/2017 |
corner of pub carpark. uninspiring | Hippo | 07/11/2016 |
So is it the back of the primary school, back of the pub bar park or back of the Haigh car sales car park??. Whatever, yet another unsatisfactory urban tump summit. | vegibagger | 08/10/2016 |
The primary school playground seemed higher than the pub. School secretary kindly showed me the high point. | Campbell Singer | 17/03/2016 |
Unspectacular urban bag. Convenient parking | mcbiydw2 | 18/02/2016 |
2nd car park summit of the evening after Blackrod. | mart0797 | 16/02/2016 |
9pm visit. Pub looked very inviting, but didn't go in. | Minto | 01/01/2016 |
Last of day. Parked in car park and walk a few yards. | PeterD | 10/10/2015 |
Right in the corner, not much higher than the curve | Tor worth it | 10/10/2015 |
Pub car park summit - in corner behind a parked cherry picker. Haigh lies atop a rich coal seem - once mined. The Leeds - Liverpool canal skirts the slopes to the west having climbed up 23 locks from Wigan. | Chris Pearson | 31/07/2015 |
Easy peasy! | Play2End | 05/06/2015 |
Lots of cars in pub car park,but didn't have time to go in for a drink/ | catman | 19/05/2015 |
Almost a drive by. | arranc | 17/05/2015 |
Long trek from one end of pub car park to NW corner. Pub not even open for a jar. | ngthack | 01/02/2015 |
School's out for some reason. | Martin R | 24/12/2014 |
On 1:10k map it appeared the adjacent school or house garden may be higher but on the ground the fence corner at edge of car park looks higher (maybe because it has been raised slightly), Short bag, long log! | RHW | 05/09/2014 |
Top end of Balcarres pub car park; a grotty spot. | Aye Jimmy | 28/07/2014 |
Highest point is in the back corner of a pub car park by recycling bins. Charming. Continued along the horrible fast road to Blackrod. | Jake994 | 06/03/2014 |
Revisit to get a picture of the summit in the back car park of the Balcarres Arms in Haigh. Also visited the nearby church to collect a bench mark and some more photos. | Dugswell2 | 10/02/2014 |
I don't have a conscience regards how near I park to the summit of urban 'hills' so for this one we just parked on the pub car park (Balcarres Arms in Haigh) and walked to the top NW corner of the car park where it is scruffy and overgrown. At the fence corner in the undergrowth is as far as we could get to the centre of the 160m contour (SD 60645 09054). Sad to relate, we didn't even go in the pub for a gill. | David Gradwell | 15/06/2013 |
