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

[classic33]

2016 OS map hasn't got any trig marked at all.
Looking at Trigpointing, they all assume the base is under the water butt..

I've been using 1913, 1926 & 1933 maps. The tank has nowt but mud under it.

Parish Church showing as having been one(on the maps), but another nearby church recorded. Despite the junction(soon to be redesigned) in front of it also being recorded as having been used.

NS 3217 7439, Port Glasgow, Station Rd.

Most in this area are on types of sandstone and are showing weathering.

Down at the bottom end of the Quarry, alongside a wall. Between the "S" & "E".
Map dated 1907, but showing on a 1933 map as well.

Away from home.
Tablet doesn't help much.
I'd 3 today and saw one to bag tomorrow, the final hill would have had to be walked if I stopped

Recorded as being at the upper arrow, OS maps show it at the lower one

Thought that one seemed oddly placed. Only one thing for it, get back to where it's shown on the map. If I'm stopped I'll be blaming @Drago

 

[classic33]

Anyone willing to check something?

Still away from home, if I can help let me know. I've no access to database etc. Heading back west soon.
Got some today, there must have been a multitude of bridges on a canal run today, after first ten checked parapets and butts, nothing. I just winged it to collect a few. Some on a walk yesterday
Will post some at some point.
Good hunting

Disputing where the water butt is supposed to be the trig point mentioned earlier. The water butt is there covering a draw hole(well).

Just want someone to check what I got today is correct.

News for @Drago, I got to both points on the map and didn't get into trouble.

First one this week at the picturesque Overstone Park Church.

Found more on a short circuit and sadly none was found in my flying visit to California
Four CBM and a FB, a good haul.
Will post some images when I eventually get home

A couple of Pillars on todays ride..
Within 100 yards of Sustrans route 6 close to Salcey Forest, and within earshot of the M1 motorway, behind.

Firstly, TP5790 - Salcey Forest. The road is on the tree line in the initial pic.
The cap and BM are in place.

It was a case of following the tractor lines through the barley(?) field to the closest point. The plank tied to it, I assume, is so the it can be seen easily, thus doesn't get mown down during farm work and harvest..



Second Pillar bagged today was TP1498 - Blisworth Hill

Not quite as visible as the first Pillar, but with OS maps on my iPhone, I navigated to within a few yards, then hopped through a hedge and fence, handily flattened a tad by previous TP baggers, and up an ivy clad slope to the prize.
The Pillar is getting a bit overgrown, and the cap is missing.
The tower in the background, dated 1825, is an air vent for the Blisworth canal tunnel below.

That's all, folks

Possible that the pole is also in place to make it easier for people searching for the pillar, without having to go into the field.

Well how I missed this one yesterday I have no idea .

It's on the junction down to Overstone Park Church and is no more than a couple of hundred metres away from the church .

Spotted it on the of chance as I had to stop at the junction and there it was.
