Description

Official Code: TS2089
Official Name: Fork

A trig point (also known as a Trigonometric Station) typically consists of a black disc on top of four metal legs or concrete pillar, resembling a navigation beacon. It is also accompanied by a metal disc, which is located directly below the center point of the tripod or on top of the pillar itself.

Trig points are generally located at the top of hills or points of prominence in the landscape.
Many provide unique views and challenges, with some being difficult to access.

These points were regarded as valuable to surveyors, providing reference points for measuring distance and direction, and assisting in the creation of maps.

I spotted this one on the sixmap site and published it with the intention of seeing if it was accessible. I parked on the main road and found no fences blocking the walk up. It is a steep walk up. Doable for a man of my vintage, so someone younger than 57 should be able to do it…unless you are a smoker! Found a decent trig with some damage to the plastic parts. The trip down was not my favourite part. Took me so much longer to get down. I’m upping the terrain to 3.5. Others may want to alter it. Probably my most satisfying trig find.
