Did an afternoon drive & completed some trigs – I call this 2 for the $ of 1 visit. Parked at gate & did the walk in the afternoon heat – sweated out the drinks from the night before. It’s nice to find a trig in good shape. thanks

Scooter ride with youngest son today and passed trig on the way to visit dam wall.
MrT with a group of friends did a bike ride from, and back to, Linden station. He took a photo of this trig on the way past. TFTT
Love caching in the Blue Mountains, returning for now third time in a year; being escorted by a mate and introducing him to geocaching.
We parked at barrier gate near Observatory, then walked 1km down & up hill to here, also looked for nearby cache; then back again.
I'm visiting from Perth WA, attending UPW event at Olympic Park.

After quite a long chat with the caretaker of the Linden Observatory Saturday night into Sunday morning, I finally got to sleep, and then headed out to photograph the Reservoir as the sun rose, and the this trig at 0705, Sunday, 16 July, 2017.
I can't find the details on when i had last visited it, but I do remember walking out to photograph it in the 1980's.
Great to see a intact trig: nicely painted concrete pedestal, black semi-circular vanes, and name plate too!

Rode out to this one from home on a beautiful sunny late winters day. One can get some speed up towards the end.
A frosty winter's morning and my walking party was out early. Hence the icicle on my nose!

A nice easy walk from the observatory along a sealed road. Well worth the effort.

A very pleasant walk from the gate along the road up to both the trigs. Once there both photo's grabbed and then headed back to the car. Along the way a couple of skateboaders were heading to the trigs as well...but only so they could skate down. Crazy!!!

A sealed road walk from the locked gate on a warm early Spring day ... sighted the first snake of the season - quick as a flash, and disappeared in a blink - along the walk. Off the road there are glimpses of the outer reaches of Lake Woodford. Glossop and Glossop Res Trigs at the walk's end. Worth an extra 200m walk along the Ridge trail for a look across the valley.

It was a longer walk that expected, but a pleasant trig find is what rewarded me in the end
It was about a 2.5 km round-trip walk up an excellent sealed roadway to this Glossop Trig and the Glossop Reservoir. It was late afternoon and the hot day had cooled off slightly, to about 25 degrees. Last time I visited and it was cool and rainy, and there were lots of people and kids and dogs, etc. Today, in perfect weather, with a nice breeze, there wasn't a soul around! I photograph both trigs, and got one nice shot with both trigs in the same photo. I wonder if it would ever be possible to get three trigs in one photo. Might be something to aim for in the future. Anyhow, a great outing, with good exercise, and two trigs! Not a bad afternoon's geocaching . . . An extra 'Thumbs Up' for the 'two trigs side-by-side' experience.

A walk first thing in the morning was rewarded with two Trigs. You can actually see how surveyors used these trigs when looking from this Trig across to the one in Linden. I dare say if you could stand on the tank the trig there could be aligned with the Blue Mountains trig (baring trees nowadays).

Found this one of a pair of caches with my middle son.
I walked up the hill much easier than last time I was here!

Found while walking around Linden, you can see the other Trig Point on top of the reservoir next to the Trig Station.
