A trig for those with a death wish! Parking is a pain and the trig is buried in a hedge on a very busy road - getting a pic is a matter of traffic dodging

Hadn't realised this one was damaged till I saw the photos on here. It was obscured quite well by hedge. Walked up field boundry to get flash plate number

I spotted this as I headed into Whitchurch for the last part of the Whereigo cache. I couldnt stop due to traffic and roadworks.

Saw this when I was driving past. I would agree with others about access. Didn't stop as I didn't think it was safe. I can't see it lasting much longer. (What happens when a trig is removed?)

This one has certainly had a nasty knock in the past and has been dislodged off its foundations. It is located just behind the bend sign on the SE side of the road. Park on the grass verge on the Cheshire side of the county boundary and walk back to it. Note this is a busy road with no pavements so it might be better to reach it by walking up the field parallel with the road. Flush bracket faces into field.

Roadside, just in Cheshire and genuinely hard of access. Silage crop rules out the field just now, and its a near suicidal roadwalk on the otherside of the hedge. Timed my road trip with roadworks and lights, ran like .... when the one side was stuck behind red. The road is fast, busy and in a cutting with no shoulder to hide on. The pillar is falling over, at a lean and pretty well bashed about. Every lorry scraping the cutting undermines it a bit more. It will be removed soon, hopefully when they widen the road. Used the camera to get the number, it was of course facing away from the road.
