Fantastic. Its very sad, but two things in life get my motor running - a crisply preserved benchmark, and a nice tasty utility marker.

GV? I guess, Gas valve

@Bobby Mhor that gas valve looks in good condition. Strange how no distance is marked on it .

Is the access just out of sight?

A few finds on todays ride.. Sorry, just ali and carbon today

After a couple of no-shows on old churches, I spotted this one.

A decent BM on a cornerstone in Litchborough.

Then, after my attack on Newnham Hill, I saw this milestone on London Road on the way into Daventry town centre.

TP1743 at Buckby reservoir was a bit trickier.
Easily visible through the fencing, but no access, that I could find, to get any closer than in the second pic, and I even had to poke the shrubbery out of the way with a long stick to get this shot! I can still feel the nettle bites on my legs!
How we suffer for our art, eh..?!

Access is just in front of it..
I assume the covers are gas related, I'll have a shuffty next time I pop through Crosslee

Strange how some villages don't seem to have any marks at all that I have found yet then you get another village with quite a few .

The area I'm kinda concentrating on just now has what I'd term an old part with newer estates springing up but I'm looking more at the database to see where I can see some, a handful at a time.
The thing is unless it's a well chiselled out one, it can be hard to spot when cycling along.
You get an idea where they should be, but what we have to remember, the latest date on my local ones is 1976, 41 years ago.
Fun finding them must get round to putting them on BenchMarks site at some point, slowly working through what I have bagged.
Shame for them to disappear.
Trig Points and Flush Brackets get all the love, CBMs are unique, all sizes and shapes.

The area I cycled today has quite a few Trig Points, (Everdon, Whilton Glassthorpehill etc.) but some are quite a way off road and I didn't have the time to carry my bike over waterlogged fields. When it's summer again, I'll head over and grab a few.

A few from Bradford City Centre
First plate, Town Hall, one of three.
Note the Cut Mark on the right. Slight difference in height.

Where the Bench Mark Plate should be. Drake Street, wall of the former Exchange Station.
