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

[Gravity Aided]

Why? Seems so entertaining and interesting to leave things the way they were. Like Cumberland . Local Government Act as well? BTW, Illinois still has a Cumberland County, the seat is Toledo. About 11,000 people.

Nowt wrong with it, other than it's an odd town. One that was in two counties at one stage.

A wanted man(no change in the antics of those supposed to be in charge) once moved to the other side of the council chamber where what he was wanted for, wasn't a crime.

This mornings haul.

Milestone just outside Carlton.

Then these two utility markers on the same terraced house in Olney.


And then inspired by @classic33 & @PeteXXX comments re Cogenhoe church.

Well I found it , it's to left of the entrance at low level.

Yeah i was just about to go for another circuit of the church and call it a day when i saw it .

Just driven back across town and have spotted another local benchmark that has so far evaded me , so will try and picture it 2moro

Back to that odd stretch of moor, again!
The R.O.C. listening post.
From the South(Can't explain the mist in the picture)

West, closer up. Open as you can just make out.

Surrounded by an eight foot high fence, topped in barbed wire.

There is a red on white "MOD Property Keep Out" plate inside the fence on the ground. The pole is in disguise. I thought it was a GPO telegraph pole, turns out it to is MOD Property. Which is why it remains there.

Greetland Road, approx 250 yards before St. Pauls Church.

Not certain if this was fed from inside the building, for drinking from. Just above waist height.

Was a crematorium at one time!

Some nice finds there Mr 33.

Wanted to climb the fence to see what lay down that hatch, how much is left intact inside.
Will have to go back.

Don't go alone.

Don't go alone.

Looking down into it shouldn't be too bad. Just need to get over the fence first. Or through it!

A few finds today..

A random manufacturers brick on Lodge Road railway bridge bridleway heading south from Little Houghton.

A canal marker near Blisworth.

And a 1912 bridge tie plate on the Grand Union canal. (My saddle really isn’t at that angle!! The bike is on a slope )
