I had set aside the day to bag some trigs but as I wasn't feeling great today, due to a stomach ache, realised I had to do drive-by-trigs. Fortunately the area around south Tiverton obliged me.
I started with TP6969 Windmill Down. A mere hop over a fence and a bag of a lonely and quite exposed trig.
Fab views through the sight holes though!
And from the top.
Then it was off through the embryonic Dart River to the next one.
TP4573, Lower Way, is up in a Devon hedge. No problems there then. Just a bit of a fight up through brambles and a lovely view. I'm sometimes quite pleased I bag trigs alone as my commentary of "Aha, there you are. Wow got you. How are you?" would sound very weird. Says I typing it out for everyone to read.
It was quite a fight to unearth the flush bracket on this one.
Next off was Crockers Down. Another drive-by-trig up a random Devon lane with oodles of pheasants and no passing places. The best way to find a trig. A pretty suberb plinth for this one.
Shame the top was so eroded.
And finally I headed to TP3396, Gogwell Farm. A short off-road drive to get to this one, which confused the sat nav.
Had to double-check the map before finding this one as I walked past it. It's in the middle of the photo.
See?
Another damaged top.
