Rediscovered trigs

[Sagina nivalis]

I thought it might be useful to list newly-refound trigs. Some of them not so new, but several were new to me. There seems to be no easy way of finding out about these, hence this thread will hopefully help.

Even more helpful would be a trigtool, new or modified, to enable searching on Condition (i.e. "Toppled or moved"). Or is there already one? I can't see one which does this ...

I can't be bothered to hyperlink them all - they are on T:UK. Some Rediscovered / newly found trigs (from a list of 60ish):-

S1681 Cottington's Hill
S6654 Five Lane Ends
(FB unknown) Driffield West
10679 Winkfield (this and Driffield West are surviving Project Emily pillars)
S2566 Sutton Farm
S4040 Walderton Down
S1634 Bleak House Hill
S6346 Moor Farm
S2064 Pen Lan Fach
S1855 Holmshill
S3268 Ashton Hill Golf Course
S5032 Cranbrook Castle
S5607 Tregearedown
also the Great Glen Project (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigtools/find.php?t=Great+Glen+Project+) pillars kinda fall into this category :)

A few I still need:-
S6003 Dick O' Th' Banks
S3232 Wall Common
S3233 Parkly Place and at least one other in Scotland which escapes me, probably several

Feel free to mention any I haven't listed - there's a fair chance I've missed them ...

Clean forgot to mention Calbourn FBM (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=7170) which has reappeared from whatever it was hiding behind. :) No joy with its Freshwater mate though.

S3232 Wall Common
S3233 Parkly Place and at least one other in Scotland which escapes me, probably several

These 3 no longer needed :) A few others in the "rediscovered" category:-
S6142 Mealisval (toppled, near summit, confirmed 2009)
S6834 Roundhay Farm (used by farmer to block access a few km away, refound 2009)
S1883 Windmill Hill (relocated a few km to caravan site, refound 2008)
S5548 Hungry Hill (toppled, S of summit; old news)
S5009 Lea Wood Farm (refound 2007)
S2126 Puttocks Hill (confirmed still present 2009)
Also the mysterious Whelford (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=7503): its identity and original location unknown as yet.

Any others, anyone?

Refound yesterday :) albeit rather battered

Have you done all the ones in Guernsey?

Not a single one! They're not OS as such are they? How many are there? I've seen one on Jersey, which was a rather scrawny battered affair - but that's Jersey for you, eh :)

11392 Leyland National Works (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=7511) looks interesting!

I think they probably are OS - there was an OS map done in the 1980's which has them marked. They're not pillars AFAIK, just a bronze plate-type affair, I'll get a pic of one for you. There's only about 3 or 4 I think, I'll have to look at the map again.

Intriguing! I look forward to the picture.

Edingley has been rediscovered in a nearby garden:

[Pharisee]

Not exactly re-discovered as it was never lost but I did manage to gain access to one that is usually un-reachable a couple of days ago.

Nice work fella :applause: Good thing your man didn't feel the need to ask his superiors first.

I got a distant (!) view of MOS Eastriggs (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=4595)pillar recently. As good as it gets currently I fear :(.

S3955 Broad Down (http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=1643) is back :cool:

Rye http://www.trigpointinguk.com/trigs/trig-details.php?t=5781
Refound by The Cyclist on edge of woods/field off access track.

I intend to go an get a new grid ref for it as I pass that way regularly but not bothered to go looking for it until I noticed the above.

If you flag the pillar for admin attention I'll update the GR10 when it arrives

I've updated Grid Refs on T:UK for all these refound pillars to match their current physical location.

[TomL]

Does T:UK need somewhere to note the original location as well as the last position found?
As I'm sure there are people out there who would also like to visit the original physical place if at all possible.

I visit vanished trigs regularly, but I must admit it never occurred to me that anyone would want to visit a previous location once the relocated trig had been found!

I'll ask Teasel what he thinks.

[TomL]

It takes all sorts ;0)

I'm not bothered about visiting it's postion but it's nice to know where it was supposed to be even if it's just a glance in that direction or when looking on the map.

Tom,

your suggestion has been added to the T:UK wishlist (http://code.google.com/p/trigpointinguk/issues/list).
