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

The thing I've noticed, that in the same area, you get varying types of the mark as if done by different hands.
The bloke I spoke with yesterday had thought as the building was just above sea level thought it was a flood mark, boy, he said he was glad it wasn't. I told him, I'd swap my near top of the hill house for his, sadly not taken up.

There was/is in some areas, the same symbol used the other way round(Arrow pointing down) for use as a flood mark. Usually higher up on the building and around man-made/influenced water features.

One seen on a regular basis was 75 yards back from the waters edge. The water reached that and compensation would have to be paid. This would have meant the deep end would be knee deep, but with three quarters of the field lost.

Another local marker, no longer used. They've gone to "old reliable" & computers.

Different styles between first and second time the marks were made.

All marks were made by part of the survey team apparently.

Any sign of the hermit?

Had a boot scraper at my place on Shetland. I suspected it was ancient, so wire brushed it clean and carefully painted it with Hammerite. Looked lovely.

I know @Drago wanted one to go on the mantleplace, but couldn't he have gone for something smaller!
