Just wandered how many of you sane tupperware spotters also enjoyed the madness that is the pursuit of remote concrete triangulation pillars;)

Looking pretty unanimous so far!

I've only logged 2 Trigs, 'cos they happened to be right next to caches, I don't think I'd go very far out of my way for one.

I used to log them on another TP site years ago, but only if caching took me near them. When that site faded away I lost interest in logging them.

There really needs an option between

Will go off my caching route to log trigpoints.
I live to “Trig”

As I'm happy to go quite a long way off my caching route to bag a trig.
I even bag trigs when not caching, but wouldn't say "I live to Trig"

Remote?

Yes, it was JeremyP's site. I'm afraid I was rather put off by the way it seemed to be edged out of things. All water under the bridge now, as far as I'm concerned, but I no longer log TPs, though I do visit them if I'm nearby.

I've never heard it mentioned by anyone else before - I just remembered spotting the link somewhere.

My very first find was at a trig point,near Leek Wooton and I recently visited an earthcache where another trig point stood, Dyserth Mountain, the land of leeks. Shame about the graffiti though.
