Rich pickings on the grand union canal between Castlethorpe and Stoke Bruerne

The ornate bridge is over the canal in Cosgrove.

Not much along the Northampton branch unfortunately

good finds there

Nice haul! I found quite a few on the bridges a while ago. Not sure if they’re the same ones, but mine may have been nearer to Northampton.
That bolt is interesting. Which bridge was that on, do you remember?

Evening @PeteXXX

I think it was on the road that runs down from Grafton Regis, Theres another bolt further around the arch of the bridge but I'd have fallen into the canal trying to get the picture

Sometimes, the quest is tricky... or downright dangerous!

Many of the bridges along that stretch have flush brackets.

Would that make it harder or easier to end up wet!

 

[Drago]

You're fairly safe! I've got a big circular hike planned for next week which takes in that stretch of the canal, so I'll see what pickings there are.

I did notice but progress was slow as it was

Too cold and frosty for a ride this morning.

Spotted this benchmark whilst driving through Wollaston on an errand for my parents . It's on the Methodist church .

 

[PeteXXX]

It was a bit chilly out on the bike this morning!!!

A couple of finds on Kingsthorpe Grove primary school.

You could end up having to explain what you're doing, to disbelieving police officers!

 

[Drago]

Just tell them you know me. That'll guarantee you a night in the cells!

Afternoon, folks.
I've been based in the frozen East of Jockland.
Bagged quite a few marks on my travels, I'll post a few when I return back to base.
Hiked back up Kinpurnie Tower to bag the mark I never knew was there the day I bagged the trig point
Keep warm darn sarff

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Back at base..
Topical one this
Dundee, Perth Rd
It must be spreading north

Three from other 13 I got..
Newtyle, Kinpurney Tower ( a reet stiff ascent to get this one)

Newtyle
There is a CBM here

Newtyle village

Now searched the village and some of the outlying bits,
29 marks and 20 found although more than a few marks are faded badly due the local stone used to build. An 'old' village which helped.
3 out of 4 1949 marks still prominent funnily.
Edit to add. The tower one is 1949 but is just outside the village and much higher.

A plaque on access shaft into a coal mine on the delivery road to Coalville retail park....
Probably a very long, dark drop under this!!

Tentsmuir Forest, Fife

Built in the 18th century, with a turf roof, it stored ice from local ponds and ice landed from ships at nearby Tayport. Home now to Natterer's bats

The marker post was erected in 1794 as a boundary marker for salmon fishing rights. Then, it was on the coastline, but the sand dunes have since reclaimed land.
