Heights are still ODN, and the waypoint identities have a 5 prefix, (not compatible with the primary file). The categories are fairly self explanatory - my reading of "Converted" is that it was a pillar that has been converted to a different type of survey monument, e. Bags the trig point, declares he’s won, informs me of the beautiful view and then demands his prize! The traditional triangulation pillar is just one of a number of different types used by the Ordnance Survey over the years. As an alternative you can view the interactive Map of the Stage below oand/or download the GPX file for this Stage only by following the instructions below.Even more acheivable ( although access can be problematic) are the 9 Curry Stools, 6 of which are in Scotland.

We then pass under the Bradshaw Brook railway Viaduct, which was built in 1848 and carried the Blackburn, Darwen and Bolton Railway over Bradshaw Brook. Here you continue along the Pennine Way to reach the Millstone Edge trig pillar overlooking Castleshaw and Delph. A hazardous drive down to, and through Darwen followed - a right turn to cross a crazy-busy main road, multi-lanes when I was not sure which to be in, and then through quiet suburbia to a free car park for the ascent of the popular Darwen JubileeTower. Follow the flagged path past houses and the continue along the side of the stream which runs through the woods.After 75m turn left, through the stile gate and take the path across the field to another stile gate. Each trig log page includes OS grid references as well as a QR code to open a map of the destination so you can plan your route. I've now added a list of all the trig points I've visited over the years, along with an interactive map of their locations. As you head uphill here you feel like you’re heading towards Holme Moss radio mast which is in the distant, but eventually the path steepens and leads you across the plateau to Black Hill trig pillar.

Its prominent position made it the ideal site for the Winter Hill TV Mast, transmitting to a large part of North West England.I have decided as May is National Walking Month that I am going to theme my walks around trig points! Lancashire Constabulary was the first to use the site for one of their base stations in 1950; they had to build the road and it is said to have been built by policemen. At one time that would have been an irritation but as years advance I believe it is more important to be honest and do the things you know you want to rather than feel guilty about the unfinished ones - that is of course providing your actions do not infringe on others.

The pele tower was rebuilt in 1420 and around 1596 the height was increased and the floors raised, creating the three spacious rooms. The spread of man’s impact on the land was starkly seen from on high with the vast industrial and residential spread of conjoined Blackburn, Darwen, Oswaldtwistle and Accrington. At this point there’s another out-and-back leg to reach the White Hill Trig point, just outside of Yorkshire in Lancashire.After his death in 1929, his widow, Lady Nina Knowles, presented Turton Tower to Turton Urban District Council in 1930, and it became the council chamber. Parked by Res to East, Followed the muddy ROW to the Trig which is situated on a small hill, its in good condition , with a plastic cap and the sight holes are open . Staring at an OS map it occurred to me my home in Marsden was surrounded by Trig points at some pretty good locations – and so the 6 Trigs circular was born! The path reaches the flattening plateau and around the spot height marked on the map as 506m (but frankly, good luck to you if you can ascertain the spot on the landscape) it crosses a few river beds and then totally vanishes. Cribden Hill is a mountain summit in the The South Pennines from Liverpool to Nottingham region in the county of Lancashire, England.
