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

Nah, trailer less matey.

 

[classic33]

It's still there then?

Left trailer at home. Had gone for a slow bimble to test me shoulder.

Bagged an OS Flush Bracket this morning at SP 7614 4726.

Took a big wide loop out to Milton Keynes today, down along the Grand Union Canal, bagged this Benchmark at Great Linford.

Rejoined the road near Newport Pagnell, bimbled around the country roads and found this outside Gayhurst, within sight of Sir Francis Drake's old house.

Not a bad days hunting, and a good excuse for a 20 mile bike ride.

Couldn't you clear the leaves from in front of the first shot?
We'd have been able to read it then.

I did try but couldn't reach through the railings far enough.

You bag Ronnie Corbett?

[QUOTE 4754527, member: 9609"]I wonder if it was a Vanesa Tube, apparently they were a real magnet for lightening strikes, I think I only ever come across one that was intact

Here is the remains of a Vanesa Tube and possibly one of the remotest trig points on the mainland, top of Ladhar Bheinn in Knoydart. I'm not a trig basher but I seen a fair few when I was bagging Munros and Corbetts.

My goal for next week is to get trig point with my bike in, I think I know one at the side of the road[/QUOTE]
It was just one of your basic pillar..
Allegedly some 'territorials' did the dirty deed..

Bike at local trig

Trigs up there (Corlick Hill)

I took a nip up to one en-route yesterday to have a quick view over Paisley (Saucel Hill), as expected a 'glass' midden.

The Obelisk, Boughton. I might as well kick off with a big trig

 

[Drago]

I know that one well. Good bag.

Ta. I looked around and couldn't see any reference to it being a trig point, but it is rather weathered!

 

[Drago]

I think there's an OS flush bracket on the base somewhere. The one on Obelisk Rise has one, but mind you're not robbed of your bike and phone up that way

 

[PeteXXX]

It's over there!
SP83384 55775

Close to CTC Yardley Chase on Denton Road. Private access, so that's as close as I got..

Sir George Biddel Airy would be proud. I still use the legacy of his work today. Bagged Stiperstones a week or two back. Photo when I return home.
