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

[Gravity Aided]

The benchmark and reference mark were maybe a half mile apart.

So I'm guessing about a half mile, although it seems kind of random. Probably due to the immensity of things. Illinois, as a state, is about the size of England proper, only the major city is in the north, and picturesque bonny highlands in the south.

it seems most of the trigs near me are on top of church spires

Don't do a PeteXXX and sit on the trig point then, ouch....

Or break anything up there. Steeple Jacks are not only paid by the hour and the job, but by height. At least in the States.

It'll be the removal of the steeple would be the problem

Nice work Pete. You're bagging a few good 'uns.

I'm feeling slightly more chipper this evening, will take it easy tomoz and Sunday will head over to Yardley Hastings on Colin i you fancy meeting up? I'll make a ride of it, head out via Stoke Goldington, Ravenstone and Olney.

Cheers.. it's fun, isn't it

I'm in London tomorrow, doing the touristy thing with my granddaughter. Tower of London and HMS Belfast plus a few more bits and pieces.

There's gotta be a Flush Bracket or summat on the Tower, surely!!

The London trip yesterday went well!

On the White Tower, in the Tower of London

Me

Traitors Gate, Tower of London

South end, East side, of Tower Bridge.

There were, no doubt, hundreds more locally, but we were doing other stuff as well.

 

[Drago]

Excellent work in London. I'm over my cold, but still feeling a bit washed out so will wait another day or two before hunting again.

I was out today hunting just the three, getting ones in my local haunts first then going further afield
