The Lancashire Trig Bagger Challenge Logbook: Hiking & Walking Challenge Featuring 101 Trig Pillars in Lancashire

Product Information

As I reached the paved path again I was wondering if it was sensible to bail off when I reached the Standedge trail path. Nicky Nook is a mountain summit in the Ingleborough to Blackpool region in the county of Lancashire, England. We love the views across to the Black Mountains and naming all the peaks and ridges that we can see. This smaller file lists the pillars and some roof bolts in the primary network, whose measurement led to the seamless mapping we enjoy today.

The sun was shining and the atmosphere clear, the latter I suspect enhanced by minimal air traffic pollution. While the route is mostly on good tracks and trails, definitely take a map if you don’t know the area well, as you could get easily caught out in poor weather. Clitheroe Castle Hill is a mountain summit in the The South Pennines from Liverpool to Nottingham region in the county of Lancashire, England.the man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready, and it may be a long time before they get off.

If you want to see the route on OS Maps and download a GPX file here’s the link and here’s a zipped GPX file. By this point of running the route I was trotting rather than running and grateful for little traffic. The summit can be identified by: no feature: grass Additional Notes: All the walks up Halton Hill on Mud and Routes can be seen above. When you reach the stone way marker continue on the Pennine Way, across the moors towards Haigh Gutter. I use the word 'artifacts' as the OS employed more than just pillars, and this list includes FBMs, Concrete Rings and some other types of trig point.I think that arises from the variety of locations; some are next to a road and others significant distances over pathless moorland.

Since trig points are the crassest of artefacts, totally out of place in the locations where they are planted, perhaps they will eventually become paranoid and group together as pockets of resistance, falling out over what number constitutes a pocket. But it is a lovely diversion taking in some great history and scenery before the final push back to Burnley, which is now only 20 miles away.I spotted a lone figure a distance away combing a field with his metal detector and took a zoom shot. The Standedge Trail after Black Moss Reservoir can be used to head back downhill to the village, as can the path from Haigh Gutter and the A640.

This site can be used by Members for recording your trig bagging exploits, as well as suppliying you with the GPS waypoints of all the trigpoints. There are good views also to the south with the Manchester skyline often visible and of course Peel Tower to the east. Rob, of Peterborough, completed a list of 6,190 trigs and celebrated his achievement with 29 friends and fellow trig baggers in 2021.His work is noted for its simplicity and directness and for its associations with folklore, especially when linked to his native Cornwall. Beware the electric fences they are live i slipped near the bridge right at the end near the car i grabbed the fence to steady myself and got a right belt! The thought process behind the creation of this resource, is described in this blog post: Foul Weather Alternative. Not proper rain but just enough to make my run along the route feel like it was perhaps not going to be completed.
