Hello fellow Trigonauts.

I've been using the site for some time now but generally use the app to update whilst in the field.

I have noticed something though of late. I compile my log on the app and whether I sync now or sync later the log only shows up on the website..

I cant figure out whats ...

Hi Dot,
I read your post..and truthfuly I cant give you an answer.
Maybe something to do with measuring if a tonne of feathers weighs more than a tonne of stolen trig plugs...though I doubt it..
Hope you find out.. I'm too dense to be able to offer anything though.

I have my work cut out. Within a 25 km radius around my hometown I have well over a dozen surface/buried blocks. If I can find half of them then I will be pleased. The buried blocks are going to be very tricky but I'd suprised if they're not still there. It's just a matter of being precise.
Are the ...

I have located 3 blocks with a metal detector app on my android. The one near penygwelly was about 6" under stones soil and turf.

Update on Yearlet block...
It is not under the centre of the cairn. I have been up there today and hollowed it out to below ground level. The block may still be there but at least I've now done the hard bit. Will get up there to finish the job off before the month is out. Saw a few folk about but ...

Hi folks,
The metal detector app is made by Kurt Radwanski. I was highly sceptical but thought what do I have to lose, It is a free app so worth a try. The block above Pen y Gwely was very well hidden. But anyone who visits in the next couple of months will plainly see that I located it on the ...

Update on the block quest!
Hi folks,
I have been out today in my local wilds and have rediscovered (if thats the correct term) another two "unknown" blocks.
In terms of logging them. What sort of info is ideally required and at what point will they be amended from unknown to good condition?

Thanks ...

Im of the mind that pillars are effectively the star players of our squad of trigpoints. I too generally go for pillars though when I am out in the hills theres been occasion when something else has cropped up which is in many ways more
interesting. I dont really get why concrete rings are used but ...

Hi Doreen.
In one word no.
In several words... I have recently been going through my old hillwalking logs and updating my trig logs accordingly. Personally I take the view that if you are marking a trig which youve been too its fair enough -regardless of how long ago. I'd go further-buried blocks ...

A quick, rough calculation tells me that if I carry on at the rate I've been going over the past 8 years I should catch up with your current mark in the year 2208!!!.
Fantastic effort Sir.
