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

[Bobby Mhor]

i went up to the church to confess my sins honest

My excuse is, I only have one bike...
I confess to Cromo or whatever it is

Only discovered this thread tonight so no picture. But there is a concrete trig point at the top of this hill in Maryhill Park.

Welcome @pjd57 to The Steelie Trig Baggers.

Our constitution.

We shall ceaselessly use our bicycles to seek out OS trigs, benchmarks, and historic markers.

Where possible, a steel framed bicycle will be used as a nod to the traditions of the past. While desirable, it is not mandatory.

We shall promote awareness of these markers.

We will, where possible, photograph them.

And we will share news of our adventures with our Brothers and Sisters.

We are seekers of the mundane, the forgotten, the hidden in plain sight, but our quest for knowledge and the appreciation of history that it brings elevates us above those seeking more conventional thrills.

Good day, @pjd57

Just slightly to the west of you in the sunnier climes of Port Glasgow
Well done on braving the local natives..I'm over the canal that way on the odd occasion, planning a hunt along from Bowling to Speirs Wharf at some point..We don't have many in our area that aren't at the top of a hill.
