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

Found one this morning that had recently erected

This is near Howick and it's as near as I could get to it (0.44km as the crow flies) It's at 58m height.

Pre metric so 32ft medium . As stated above dp is distribution point then its identity number . Green label is when it was tested month on top ,year at the bottom then pole tester ID .punched out hole marks the date . White paper labels are put on each time we climb it to signify we've done a test that's it's not rotten

Or hoist, if not climeable.

Nice stroll around Northampton with grandson today, to get our exercise.

A couple of iron downpipes on the corner of St Giles Street.

And a BM in Kingswell Street, I’ve walked past many times.

This is the 1793 building it’s on.

From this evening's ride in the village of Smailholm. The back wheel and some foliage are obscuring a milestone which apart from being illegible is in good condition. Iron age replacement on the right.

It’s the right way up now..

Known locally (KIlcreggan) as Tut Tut Rock,
first painted 1850s and known as the Painted Rock very original), apparently later became Tut Tut after Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered. There are the usual conflicting stories on the dates and naming but I like this one..

Nearby a cast iron milepost(?)

Once again, vandalism as it's been a case of 'Feck it, just lay the tar'

Right, about time I pulled my finger out and bagged a few more.

Castlethorpe church benchmark.

The spire of the Church is also a trig point. I believe there's a bolt up there, but not accessible today.

The Church is on the site of an old Norman Fort. Defensive earthworks and parts of the moat are still visible.

Was planning a few more, but cut the ride short due to a broken spoke and resultant wobbly rim. Nothing as unpleasant as a wobbly rim.

 

[Gravity Aided]

The ones in out village are embossed metal digits that slide into a holder which is nailed to then post. Later ones, say 1960s onwwts, seem to have a metal disc, a bit log a dogs I'd medallion.

Like these?

A good haul today

Another bunker very overgrown and fairly neglected .

A trig post just about 15 yards from the bunker but well hidden . I ride past both about once a month and never noticed either before. It looked in good condition but couldn't get a look at the plate other than with my camera .

Lastly a nice benchmark on Souldrop church .

Surprisingly no photograph of it on Geograph, but it's a few hundred yards behind the photographer;

The location, a few hundred yards before entering the village/passing under the railway viaduct
