I never knew that telegraph poles could last more than a century! Some genuinely interesting stuff on there.

I'll peruse that later, Mr C

Four out of 6 today.
a pivot and 3 CBM.
One was a prowl in undergrowth, I think these ones in future can wait until winter, nettles everywhere
Bridge of Weir, ? marker

Houston, Houston Rd, Cemy Wall

Houston, Main Street, Pivot

Not very obvious in the photo, had to pick out some moss..
Another two CBMs in the same area.

Stopped and questioned by the police as to what I was doing. All the while a group at the pub about 50 foot away watching.

I'd to show the photo's taken, explaining what tbey were of. And what bench marks were.

One I knew, so not too bad. Only doing their job.

Just tell them you know me, you'll be fine

Yes, Mr Dixon

I think I may have set one of them wondering, the second said there was one on a pub nearby. Sadly the listed building was flattened two years ago.

I'll have to go back to the other place she mentioned though.

Dismantled viaduct, Berry Lane

Under The Railway Station, Navigation Way

Navigation Road, security guard used a pair of binoculars to keep an eye on me, from less than 20 foot away. Saved him getting up of his back end!

Dripping into Hebble Brook

 

[classic33]

A few from the far end of the old station, it went past this road by another 200 yards.

"H" appears to have been in demand, work at both ends. One explantion I've been given is that marks like this may be "Team Mark", not an indivual persons mark.

Smoking might be bad for you!
This is over an 1/8 of inch deep/thick, the roof is worse. One of five seperate bridges making up one bridge.

The final two of the day. Interuppted by two police officers wondering what I was upto.
South Parade, junction with Discovery Road.

Sorry, been busy/away. I got a snap of the Trig Point & bracket on top of Loughrigg Fell last weekend, but I walked up there, so won't post it here. However, today I was on a splendid Thames Path Meander with some good folk of YACF and got this:

It's an old boundary stone between Kent and Surrey in Rovrive, and used to be where The Earls Sluice met the Thames. It's been moved since then, so I guess the cut mark isn't in the right place.

As you drive into Boston, Lincs, you can smell the creosote from Calders & Grandige's sleeper and pole manufactures.
None of ya EU 'safe' stuff, just the proper poisonous shite!

 

[classic33]

Yes, Mr Dixon

George.

I like the "Knee Height" description of this one.

Now on the lookout for short grasshoppers. Could be a new species!
