The CC Trig Point bagger thread, now incorporating other interesting geographs

Lego is neat, though. Memory Lane.

From yesterday, 4 bridges, a former yard, one tunnel, two churches & the site of a church, and this is all I got.
Boundry wall of the former church, Wakefield Road, Bradford.

Coming down the opposite side of Wakefield Road.

There's a second to the right, all but invisible in the picture..

Cycling UKs chipwrapper arrived today. I see they've created the British Cycling Quest, with checkpoints all over the UK to visit. I kind of think they've pinched our OS trig/benchmark begging idea, dumbed it down and made it worse.

I started the BCQ in about 2004. I'm probably on about 50 now. After the first flush of getting those local to you, I then have to remember to check if there are any close when I go on holiday. It's helped now as I've downloaded the questions onto my phone, but I still have to remember to check.

Strange one this, I think. It's on a low wall around a bit of a garden/ park area in the middle of Altrincham (Barrington Road junction Hazel Road). Perhaps the stone has been reused, but I think not as the area has an age to it. Spotted when going to my dentist.

Not sure about this one. On St John's church in the middle of Knutsford. It's damaged but perhaps my imagination is running away with me, but I think I can spot a cut bench mark. However, looking at the database, someone has placed it on the right side of the door (I would say this is on the left, as you look at it, perhaps they meant as you come out of the church). The opposite side of the doorway has had several stones replaced.
Anyone else see a cut mark or am I imagining it?

A few of the finds from yesterday's ride from St Ives to Cambridge.

All Saints church, Stives, has a poor BM on the buttress, but still vivible.. just.

Girton church has a much clearer BM.

On to Anstey Hall Coach House, in Trumpington, to spot a Flush Bracket.

Then on the Old Mill bridge, Grantchester, a worn BM.

No finds in Cambridge itself, but I was n't really looking, just riding through, and it was getting dark by the time I was heading back up the guided bus way!

Can see a mark, but no door in that first picture.

Sure I have done this benchmark before at Burton Latimer on the church.

We didn't grab that on our ride around the village, did we.

Just a quick one on today's ride..
A BM on one of the local estate community centres on Southfields.
I've checked several of the old buildings on the estates as I pass by, but this is the first one I've seen.

From the lower end of what has been the local race course, zoo, and during the Second World War, an emergeny airfieild. Now a golf course.

Just off a main road, that was at one stage a packhorse road. Before that, in parts, the Manchester to Ilkley road built by the romans.

Two Georges, and in their original locations.

Going to have to get back when there's a bit more light.

Potato Hall , Wellingborough trig plate posted before.

But went past this morning so why not.

Another face plate I must have posted before but I was passing Sywell Church so thought I might as well .
