Seldom visited trigs

That'd make for a fell race with an incentive not to hang about....

I'd thought about devising a route to Tarn House, but the FRA RO guidelines wouldn't allow for the risk factor i don't think, even if the red flag was down.

Similar to Mark's toppled trig (didn't know it was possible), this was my grim local trig growing up...

No need for cut off times as an incentive - You can just imagine the pre-race brief, blah blah, random kit checks blah, and oh one last point ........ slow runners will be possibly be shot from xyz hours onwards.

I found this one last June



Not far from Sidmouth and, from the track through the woods to it, it wasn't much visited that I could see. Mind you, what do 'suvveners' know about trig points

This is what Meugher looked like this time last year...



In summer all that windblown fell is carpeted in Harestail Cottongrass tussocks. Certainly seldon visited i think, dispite being in the National Park.

Went to the trig at Mark Hill at the weekend via Stony Grooves Lead Mine. It was quite a stiff nav challenge having to walk in a dead straight line for nearly 2 miles, and my course was in error due to the deviation between grid and magnetic north.

It really is in the middle of nowhere...


There are some lovely ruined structures and buildings at Stony Grooves...

Bagged Burton Fell today. It was a bit of a battle accross the firing range- boggy, desolate- it was a non live-firing day so i'm still alive. I didn't manage to find any unexploded ordnance unfortunately, but i did find Tarn House which i haven't seen for 20yrs, and some army stuff on the fell top. It was snowing and the terrain was tough, it took me 3 hours to go 7.5m.

The trig had seen better days
