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

A couple of finds on today's ride..

A BM on a terraced house by the corner of Stratford Road and Clarence Street.

And another on All Saints Church, Stratford.

Plus.... A bonus chance meeting with @Drago in his home village as I pedalled through...

Sorry for the lack of activity on this thread recently. A few from my wanders around Leeds and outskirts.

Leeds Cathedral.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

The recently refurbished Leeds Bridge.

Not much of this mark left after they sandblasted the stone. Though it is still visible.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Yeadon Town Hall.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Saxton Gardens,Leeds. I have seen loads more GR post boxes,but haven't had the opportunity to bag them yet.

No idea what this is,or what the letters mean. Outside the Robin Hood pub (formerly the Tut 'n' Shive) in Yeadon.

I was walking through the village minding my own business when I heard a voice behind growl "give me your money or I'll shank you!" I turned around and it was PeteXXX. My how we both laughed as he threw my empty wallet on the ground and rode off!

I thought you'd have more ££ that that!

Was good to see you Pete, and cracking that you blagged some Benchmarks too. It's really humbling that my idea has people cranking out the extra miles to find these things. Makes the CTCs equivalent look like the contrived and boring exercise that it is. Perhaps I should write an article for their chipwrapper about Benchmark bagging as an incentive to ride and explore?

BTW, did the main purpose of your ride go OK?

Yes, our last meet was on the Women's Tour, wasn't it..
All went well, thanks. HGV medical passed for another year. I got to MK a bit early, so did the extra few miles around Stratford where I bagged the BM's, plus a few more pics 👍🏼

Another from yesterday's ride, near Salcey Forest, posted before, I think, but worth a revisit.

 

[Drago]

@PeteXXX is that in Quinton Green? I rode past that twice daily for nearly 8 years and never noticed it!

Blimey, About 2 miles ENE of me. I never knew that was there!
