Even when I promise myself a day off..I couldn't miss this beauty

Kilbarchan, New St

 

[classic33]

Illingworth Moor Methodist Church, home to Yorkshire National Anthem, Keighley Road

Keighley Road, currently a rugby club, 12 foot from the entrance.

Boundary Stone

Club Lane(Of "If you like a lot of chocolate..." fame), junction with Keighley Road

Keighley Road, Gateway to private houses


A leftover from the tramways that used to operate up this road

Half as much more is sunk into the ground. They stand about five foot high.

Lots off goodies today.

Nice carving of, presumably, when the bridge over the Grand Union canal was built.

Then three Flush Brackets

OSBM 582, on Bridge 47 on the Grand Union canal. I was lucky on this one, as I had to hop over a narrow bit of bankside with my bike, only to find that I'd nearly stepped right into a wasp nest!! By the time I walked back, they were getting their arse daggers sharpened up. Luckily, I avoided being stung.. Could have been nasty!!
I also had a nice chat with some boat people who were wondering what I was doing. Hopefully I educated them of the importance of such stuff.

Next was the Brick and Tile Works bridge for OSBM 581

Then, my final canal find, OSBM 579 on Bridge 43 Banbury Lane bridge.

I thought I'd recheck Rothersthorpe Church as I'd come up dry last visit. How could I have missed this one

Last find of the day, a decent BM on Far Cotton bridge over the River Nene.

No a bad haul.. some checked before departure, some were spotted on the ride.

Good haul, @classic33 et @PeteXXX

Well been in contact with the people who run the trigpointing site(Contact Us Form), over the location of TP8436 Mount Tabor. Wait and see what their response is.

I'm thinking at one point uploading my photos up to either wikimedia or Geograph, futile maybe but these are disappearing fast, I know of one in the last weeks I photoed a few months ago.
Stone weathering as in the sandstone one I caught yesterday I reckon isn't long for this world.

Is that a local name for pints of ale?

Wouldn't suprise me if it was down South.

 

[Drago]

We call it Babycham down here.

Saint George's Church, tower over main entrance. BM now lost to a ramp.

Shroggs Park, Saint George's Road.

Grand View, Wheatley Lane. Recently cleaned.
Someone pinched the cat of the roof.

Out on an MTB trail today, Swinley Forest, I knew of a Trig Point near the track we were riding.

Seemed rude not to ride up there for a pic
The centre of the spider is missing, unscrewed, (who knew they're screw-in?!)

It's named as Pudding Hill on the DB but is nearer to Gravel Hill!

There has been a spate over the years of someone removing the centres up here..It's a rarity to see a centre now, most have been plugged.
