Well we did. And we didn't.
First off is our nearest trig pillar which I'd never hunted before - it's on a railway embankment so we had to view from the bridge.


Then we went to find the trig on Constitutional Hill.
Here it is!


I was surprised there was no evidence of a spider or FB but I assumed this was a cheap and nasty OS version.
On returning I read the details properly and, lo-and-behold, there is the real trig pillar 100m further up the trail. Doh. What I want to know is why are there two trigs 100m apart from each other - one the official one and the other a poor cousin. It's exactly the same shape as an OS trig pillar and fooled me (no comments please). I wonder if the OS installed this one and then changed their minds for a slightly better location? Can anyone enlighten me?
Lastly, a real trig. This one involved a tramp across very gloopy mud but the views were worth it.
