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

[PeteXXX]

Yep, I saw the link, I just didn't find the bolt. I noticed several indentations, but none with a rod sticking out.

No! At this rate I won't be able to leave the house without taking an interest in some kind of fitting or street furniture!

Believe it or not there are guys out there who take an interest in classic telegraph poles, and even buy old ones, restore them, and erect them in their gardens!

Link to their site given above.

I've already had to say I'm a member of the Bench Mark Preservation Society.

That to avoid a lift to the nearest station.

Rivet today.
local walk

@Drago
talking about poles...

Quite possibly, the last one still standing on this old railway line(NCN track now)

 

[Drago]

Speaking of railway lines, @PeteXXX have you visited the Salcey Forest railway line? The platform still exists where the route goes under the B526 and is fairly intact. There's also a benchmark on the road bridge so its a double points visit.

 

[PeteXXX]

Do you mean about a click south of Horton?
I think I visited in pre-TP days.

 

[Drago]

Yes yes, a few hundred yards south and west of Horton.

Thought I would ride around the town centre churches this morning to get a few bench mark's , 3 had all the entries locked and 2 others had no signs of any marks .

So settled for this face plate

No, I've wandered round the outside many times though. I really should go in sometime.

The Church at Birkin, where the Fisheries Lake Café is,, has a similarly rounded rear

Ledsham Church (not far off the 'Great North Road', & 'old' A1) is a gorgeous building too, with Saxon & Noman sections

Working at the ICE today in London's famous London without a bike, I managed to snap this one across the street. The barriers are due to the state opening of parliament. If I'd timed it better I could have got The Queen in the picture too, or the Coldstream Guards.

No bike in this pic, just training the next generation of Trig Hunters..
