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

[classic33]

A few finds on yesterday's ride through and around Cambridge.

I couldn't get any nearer to this Trig Point as it was a distance over a field. The hedge was a bit thick, and too close to the farm to explore further!

TP2115, Chapel Hill, a mile south of Haslingfield. You can only just see it through the hole in the hedge..

A nice Mike marker, with Cut mark on the A10 close to the M11.

Finally, a Victoria post box in the church gatepost.

Always had me wondering who they'd be expecting to use them, at such placements.

Some odd local marks being shown as visited. Some haven't been around for 40 plus years..

it ties up with the Benchmark website, folk record finds and non finds on it. There was an FB not far from the one I had found yesterday but noticed a small x on the marker, FB had been last recorded as gone. I can’t remember the bloke’s name who did this but taken from the old OS database.

Thanks
but it is Mike Flint who deserves the thanks for his fine website..
it has saved me much work...
(his 'about it all' page HERE

I use the Microsoft Edge app just with that one page..when out.

At home, what I find handy is the ability of creating a pdf of all the marks, just resize the map..
I use the Snip tool on Windows for the 'map' then print
I've got one of an area of nearby Greenock printed off ready to go 'hunting'...

Get out there, plenty to marks to find...
it adds sometime to being out and about...
