First foray on my newly finished Dunelt today so only a short ride.

Been looking for this along Moonshine Gao just by the Mad mile for a while and finally got it .

Well found! It's nearly worn away.

Came off a late 70's bike.

Well found! It's nearly worn away.

It took 2 or 3 hard looks

I'd be in my mid-20s at that point
The one I had was aluminium and three plastic hoops (blue, white and red) misconstrued as usual up here as a Rangers pump....cannot escape it even in cycling, dented pretty easily if I remember, flimsy construction the one I had.

Better than being removed though! At least they considered them wearing away when they decided where to cut them.

Same one and not very useful for inflating more for show

Working on my treasure hunt for the Tandem Club this weekend I scored this one by using my Super Power. It's on the OS list but not bench-marks database, on a bridge over a now disused railway that forms the Worth way.

Further along the same line, this bridge is near Crawley Down and is on the bench-mark.org.uk database.

But this isn't on the OS or bench-marks databases. It's a meridian marker in East Grinstead. (I've cleaned the bike since then).

Greenwich Meridian?

Greenwich Meridian?

The very one. There's a dozen or so around the town apparently. I found another on Lewes Road.

Google puts me near this one?

You need to include "east Grinstead" as well as "Lewes Road" in your search term.

It's going based on my current location, Yorkshire!
How they work that out, I don't know.
