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

[snorri]

What's the dimensions on the visible part of that block?

Approx 200mm square and 300mm high.
There are two cairns on the site and several of these blocks situated some 30 metres from each cairn structure, I could see no other marking on the blocks other than the two arrows.
(I did not have this thread in mind when I took the pic. a few weeks ago so I'm just relying on memory)

There's a few like that last one round here. Stainless steel plate in place of cast marks. Seems they were expecting a change, but uncertain of who would be there. The plate can just be drilled out and replaced.

I haven't a clue , tbh....

Seeing as you're all struggling and I'm a nice person, I'll tell you. It's a memorial on the Mull of Oa on Islay to commemorate the sinking of two troopships in WW1 carrying US troops. They had centenary stuff the week before last, including wreath laying, Royal Marines band etc and I was lucky enough to be there. It made the BBC news, where I can be glimpsed for a nanosecond.

Can these be seen??
I only noticed it, as I went for a walk to photograph the Bridge again
I was in Bingley, for the 'Harriers v Cyclists' race
Area


Detail



There's not a photo of it on GeoGraph, so I've used one of the marvellous PackHorse bridge on Beckfoot Lane
My photographs are south-east of the bridge, before the marked Club House

An oddity, they've been there quite a few years now!!
I think I first saw them about 10 years ago

When I see BM’s or stuff getting overrun by ivy, I tend to cut it back before the artefact is lost for ever.

Thanks for the programme links. I watched the Alba one when I was over there. The flag that was made came back to Islay for the ceremony. We were in the museum when it came in the back door, accompanied by a flustered American woman from the Smithsonian.

An almost equal oddity, I saw this Volvo estate in Haworth, not far from the K &VWR station

If I have featured these in the thread previously, I apologise, but I'm not trawling through 137 pages to double-check


As the name states, it's not in Whitby, which is where anything Goth related is expected to be
(even though Bradford, Keighley, Shipley, & Leeds gave birth to some of the bigger names of the genre)



Cricketers Arms
Horbury
'The Bowing Courtier' The emblem, of Melbourne Breweries of Leeds (a response to Tetleys Huntsman?)



Mile Marker
Aire & Calder Navigation Canal towpath, at 'Stanley Ferry'
(only just north, of the bridge carrying the road between Stanley & Altofts)
it's on the 1908 '25" OS map as a MileStone

Probably to Goole, the ultimate destination of the 'A&C'
