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

[PeteXXX]

Possible that the pole is also in place to make it easier for people searching for the pillar, without having to go into the field.

Nah.. don't think so.

Nah.. don't think so.

He's a pedantic old git, our Classic

Well done, lads

I was looking at it from the farmers side. Since most don't actually want you walking through crops.

Those looking for the pillar would have a rough idea of where it was, they'd be able to mark it as seen/visited from the road.

The tractor lines went within a couple of yards of the Trig. I wouldn't want to destroy the crop!

Not everyone would do that though. That's how I found out about the water butt. Being considerate, last person to visit had a dog running loose with them.

Give me my hook back...
On the map with the 'triangle' and dot inside, I've seen some of these before on old maps local to me and they are not Trigs but I'd always assumed them were spot heights.
I'll have a further prowl..
One today, a chance look at a church, note the bolt at the side but listed as a CBM only.

Driven past this plate more times than hot dinners. But it's on a horrible stretch of the A509 far to dangerous to ride on for me.So when we passed tonight no traffic about so quick picture taken .

On a barn on the LHS after Wollaston.

Trig points(pillars) tend to be a bit bigger than "Knee high". You've either got long legs or short Trig pillars.

Just a few from my wee Tour
Falkirk, High Station Rd (Oriental this one, building is a 'Spice Express')

Edinburgh, Union Canal, Bridge 3

Union Canal, Avon Aqueduct

A rare one, one on brick
Kilmacolm, Bus Shelter

19 bagged for the 5 days..

 

[Drago]

There's one cut into brick on a house in our village. I keep trying to work up the bottle to knock and ask to photograph it as its a bit far from the boundary to photograph well from a public area.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

@Drago I saw the one below and had to use the zoom on my camera...
Brick CBM is a rarity in this area.

En-route after visiting Halfords this afternoon..
Ex-Customs building and most impressive cut one in this area yet.

Greenock, Custom House
