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

[Drago]

Thank you! though I'm not sure what the 'rules' are in here - are photos on old mile markers and the like allowed?

The rules are simple - there are no rules!

The thread was started to discuss cyclists who'd visited Ordnance Survey trig points, bench marks, cut marks, fundamental benchmarks etc.

However, it was quickly expanded to include interesting or historic utilities markers.

It then expanded even further to include all sorts of interesting shizzle.

The prime raison d'etre is still trigs, but if the thread encourages you to get out on your bike and photograph an interesting geograph, then you go for it! Mile markers welcome!!!

There's one I found in an earlier post on this thread that looks like it's locked in a time capsule .

The Bt building I stumbled upon this morning looks to be a very interesting building .

Looking through the windows it looks like it could quite easily be a museum loads of bits and bobs on desk's that looked like it had not been used for year's .

General site condition reflected same , gateway was open, otherwise I would not have gone in .

They've just finished clearing out the inside of the main(GPO) exchange in the town centre. Parts from when it first opened all scrap!

Well done on the Orlingbury find! I searched for that a few months ago and saw nought!

Yep, I’ll join the team, if I can
