Re: Should we all stop trigging?

It would appear that it's a group of people doing the bagging. In different areas of the country separately , so I've not a problem with that.

But all those bagged by the group in any given day are posted as one - with no separation - on T:UK. So it looks like T:UK is just being used as a bit of a ...

Re: Trigging by Streetview.

I also use Streetview when planning trig bagging trips. Often useful for gaining
an idea of feasible and discreet access routes, availability of gateways into fields,
probability that a roadside location is overgrown, etc.


Yes, street view is a very handy tool for the reasons given above, and ...

Re: Ever met anyone?

Apart from one pre-arranged meet up, I've met no-one whilst out and about. Missed some folk by an hour or so at a couple of trigs, though.

Re: A Very British Map: The Ordnance Survey story

A great programme this. One I'd seen before, but was glad to catch the repeat. And two days later, I was out trigging for the first time. :D
