oh, that's a cool little one. adopt and keep clear for others.

There is a definite thrill of finding one that others have given up on.( TP4160 - Kempstone Hill) gave me a rush after seeing others had given up.

Painted it, gave directions and somebody found it a week later!

thanks for the link to the wiki, will bear that in mind. I still think 'Hill' is rather cool, and its a day trip!

I have fond memories of Scafell/Sca Fell pike as a tween, late 70's, early 80's. holiday on Wastwater. 2 nuclear families and a black lab going up, didn't see a soul, bit of a scramble ...

Cool, I prefer 'Hill' it's quirky. Thanks

TP3843 - Hill (cute name) is named incorrectly, it should be Knock Hill.

Do you have one? Why?

Brimmond Hill is mine, kinda on the doorstep but still a couple of 'steep' kM's. Popular trigpoint, so I painted it. I remember the wonder of a bright white trigpoint as a kid in the 70's, kinda special IMHO. Now managed to sight it from 2 other TP (that's the point)

decent thing to do! I would love to do that, I will in summer. Just stuck in NE Scotland and a 'blocked weather system' haven't seen the sun since 21st Jan and rained more than that. So I went up kingshill, necked an energy gel and some lucozade and ran back down for cover!

the forum seems a wee bit dead imho, mostly just software comments and answers, maybe it is just a 'help section'

but I also watch the log activity and I kinda want to comment on peoples logs.

Coventry Airfield, lovely drive to trig point, that is threatened. Comment and raise awareness. Every ...

So I am new to trig point bagging but I want to do a bit more than just ticking them off. I'm an engineer and an ex scout so I enjoy the whole maths and mechanics of the trig point network. So I get to the top, see if I can spot the other trig points with binoculars (I'm going to have to start ...
