ViajanteCongrats on getting over Bodmin Moor - getting close to the Devon border. Fantastic progress. I love trig pillars, maybve something to do with me being a retired Land Surveyor. In the old days you had to drag heavy measurimg equipment (and batteries) up to the trigs. GPS has made them redundant now.
ViajanteI’m a Trig point lover. We walked 100 metres out of our way for this one. Not sure how many more we’ll see. I’ll keep a tally for you!
