From yesterday, 4 bridges, a former yard, one tunnel, two churches & the site of a church, and this is all I got.
Boundry wall of the former church, Wakefield Road, Bradford.

Cycling UKs chipwrapper arrived today. I see they've created the British Cycling Quest, with checkpoints all over the UK to visit. I kind of think they've pinched our OS trig/benchmark begging idea, dumbed it down and made it worse.

I started the BCQ in about 2004. I'm probably on about 50 now. After the first flush of getting those local to you, I then have to remember to check if there are any close when I go on holiday. It's helped now as I've downloaded the questions onto my phone, but I still have to remember to check.

Not sure about this one. On St John's church in the middle of Knutsford. It's damaged but perhaps my imagination is running away with me, but I think I can spot a cut bench mark. However, looking at the database, someone has placed it on the right side of the door (I would say this is on the left, as you look at it, perhaps they meant as you come out of the church). The opposite side of the doorway has had several stones replaced.
Anyone else see a cut mark or am I imagining it?

A few of the finds from yesterday's ride from St Ives to Cambridge.

All Saints church, Stives, has a poor BM on the buttress, but still vivible.. just.

Girton church has a much clearer BM.

On to Anstey Hall Coach House, in Trumpington, to spot a Flush Bracket.

Then on the Old Mill bridge, Grantchester, a worn BM.

No finds in Cambridge itself, but I was n't really looking, just riding through, and it was getting dark by the time I was heading back up the guided bus way!

Can see a mark, but no door in that first picture.

Sure I have done this benchmark before at Burton Latimer on the church.

We didn't grab that on our ride around the village, did we.

From the lower end of what has been the local race course, zoo, and during the Second World War, an emergeny airfieild. Now a golf course.

Just off a main road, that was at one stage a packhorse road. Before that, in parts, the Manchester to Ilkley road built by the romans.

Two Georges, and in their original locations.

Going to have to get back when there's a bit more light.
