Hi Rob,
The BBC article states
Rob Woodall recently completed his 14-year mission to bag all of Britain's trig pillars - clocking up 6,190 in total
Didn't realise you'd done them all - congratulations
Which was the final pillar log?

Indeed, many congratulations to Rob (peregrinus) for his completion of visiting all the trig pillars, what an effort it must have been. How he got to some of the more remote ones must have cost a fortune in time & money never mind commitment and perseverance!
A fantastic effort!

Thanks! Island trigs are best shared - not least because of the charter boat costs! But island bagging just becomes another addiction...
