Happy #TrigpointThursday everyone. Here’s Mid Tooin in Orkney I visited TODAY! What a beauty - was worth the 5 mile round trip walk over the bogs.

How mossy is this trig?! Been wanting to bad this bad boy for a while - finally made it. The rather aptly named Hard Hill near Cross Fell in Cumbria. Lots of heather bashing but worth it. #TrigpointThursday #trigthursday PS. What’s happened to @TrigThursday ? 😕

🚨 Whoop whoop 🚨It’s #TrigpointThursday time again. Here’s Warthill in Holm (pronounced Ham) in Orkney’s East Mainland. It’s plonked on top of what’s probably an ancient burial chamber. @TrigThursday

It’ll never win #Trigpointthursday but surely a prize for one of the ugliest trig locations! @TrigThursday Ward Hill, South Ronaldsay
