Trigpoint #71 - The Wrekin
Dec 30, 2021
We have come to the end of our Trigpoint Challenge. It's the end of the year and our aim has been to complete the challenge by visiting the Wrekin.
Onwards and upwards then...
Trigpoints #68 to 70 – South of Bridgnorth
Nov 30, 2021
It has been 3 weeks since our last outing and after the weekend snow and gales (Storm Arwen) we thought we would make the most of a day that promised to be calm and bright.
On our drive down to Bridgnorth I realised that I had left Triggy behind. Oh well, too late to go back and get him. We’ll have to take photos “Sans Triggy” I said.
Trigpoints #65 to 67 – Shifnal area
Nov 9, 2021
It has been nearly a month since we did our last trigpoints. We have been to the Lake District for a few days but the main reason is that I have suffered with ‘man flu’ and it has really taken all my energy.
We woke up this morning and decided that we would visit a few trigs that were going to be fairly easy. I have a map on my office wall and there are 8 groups of trigpoints circled and that covers 25 with 6 odd ones dotted around the far reaches of Shropshire. We thought we would do 3 just south of Shifnal.
Trigpoints #62 to 64 – Clun area
Oct 17, 2021
It was a miserable day when we woke up; dull and drizzly. Not a day for trigpointing, I thought. After a discussion over breakfast we decided that we needed to get out if we were hoping to get everything done by the end of the year. Still 35 to go and December will be pretty well taken up doing the Santa run.
We decided that we would head down to Clun and visit a few trigpoints in that area. There were two trigpoints that I had been looking forward to as they are situated almost on the Welsh/English border.
Trigpoints #59 and 61 – Stiperstones area
Oct 1, 2021
The day was bright so we thought we would visit a few more trigpoints. We decided that we would take on Stiperstones and hopefully a couple of others on the way home. We started off about 10 o’clock and headed along the A488. The traffic was light and we were there about hour after leaving home.
It was a lovely day so we thought we would head back down to the Wenlock Edge and visit a few more trigpoints there. We started off about 10 o’clock and headed for Craven Arms on the A49. The traffic was light and we were there an hour later.
Trigpoints #54 & 55 - Offa's Dyke (Near Clun)
Sep 19, 2021
We had a full day free so thought we would head south to Clun and see what the two most remote trigpoints would be like. The weather was bright when we set out but became cloudier as we drove down to Clun.
