Just passing by. I think I was on the easiest side to park, across from the trig.
easy roadside.
In good condition, if a little ivy clad!
Parked inconsiderately on grass verge next to this as it looked like a quiet road (its not). Found gap in fence for a quick photo of trig. Somebody left a horseshoe propped up on it, obviously for good luck getting back to your car without getting abused by drivers you have cheesed off. Trig in good condition with OS plaque present but cap missing with ivy growing out of top
Easy roadside location - pillar good condition.
Right next to the road, on field side of hedge.
I wasted a lot of time searching the wood on the south side of the road and had to return to the car to programme my GPS, which put me right. So would the map, if I'd looked.
Easy to finish the day,parking opposite briefly.Now for the 3 hour drive home!
Parked in a field entrance about 250 meters to the west and walked back along field edge - very muddy! Walked back along the road kicking all the mud off!
Had to settle for a slow drive by en route to a meeting in nearby Abthorpe
Blimey! This is a busy place tonight, just missed Lathama by just under an hour. We took the decision to walk along the edge of the field, rather than along the road, and found the trig in the field -and rather too far to be seen from the road through the hedge.
Very ivy'd up! In a hedge by the side of the road but easily accessible round the edge of the wheat field. Some white paint. No plug. Sightholes below vegetation level. I must admit that I didn't see the anti-vandal plaque on it but it was very much covered in ivy, so I probably just missed it. Lovely views NW/N/NE over the agricultural land.
At the side of the road. GPS plaque. Plug missing.
Passed this many times. Finally stopped.
Located north side of road behind hedge. Park at gap in hedge and the trig point is only 5 metres to the west. Visited before dawn so pictures are a bit dark.
Easy access from road. Behind hedge a few yards from gap.
In hedge at road side (can park within 2 metres of it) not far far from our regular haunts of Towcester Leisure Centre and occasionally MacDonalds. Central plate on mount missing - found plastic ring nearby, almost fitted would this be it ?
just inside field by entrance, VGC, plastic plug, GPS, pleasant views |
