Good news. Access to TP0767 Abbots Ripton (Alconbury Airfield) is now possible without gaining permission to through the security area. See my log for details.

If you are not already aware of it, there is an interesting book "Peak Distict Trigpointing Walks" by Keith Stevens and Peter Whitaker published by Sigma Press. It details 20 walks with lots of information and pictures and includes an introduction on surveying and map making. In three tables are ...

To the North East of Nottingham are three close pillars TP4195 with TP0887 at 0.4km and TP2811 at 0.5km. (0.7km between later pair)

TP7503 Whelford, Cirencester an OS pillar at the entrance to a former factory moved ...

Eg TP0371 and TP10119 are for the current pillar and the site of the previous destroyed pillar at Gedney Drove End, just visited by Perigrinus. At grid ref SU195427 there is TP0742 a pillar and TP8928 a buried ...
