Cycled from canal at Dane Aqueduct via Little Tidnock. Came here years ago on Staffs Way. Trig verging on slightly damaged. Toposcope was more optimistic than the prevailing weather !

One of my favourites, hence the repeat visit. From the pillar you can see The Wrekin in the south and Winter Hill in the north, as well as to Nort Wales in the West. Tried to get some better pics

This is the first trig point that I have logged. it was whilst doing Geocache Cumulonimbus crevice that I came across it. I did not know what was needed hence not all info is logged. will try to do this for the next one.

One of my locals. Splendid all round views, including the Cheshire plane. Good condition. Topograph nearby (is that what you call them?)

A trig in the cloud. The moon is above the trig, honest!

This was a lovely walk up this hill through some fine woods and on a fine morning. With the trigpointing web site down I had to stop in Congleton to buy an OS map and look for some trig points to visit. This was a fine discovery.
