For the Brampton Abbotts trig point bag, I parked by St Michael’s Church.
The trig pillar itself was a short walk along a public footpath behind the church. However, I headed through the graveyard.
This was only a short bag, so I tried to make the most of it as I could. Through a little gate, into a potato field and back onto the footpath.
The footpath goes through the churchyard and around it. To keep it interesting (and to find something to write about) I went around on the way, and through on the way back.
Other than that, it was a straightforward walk along a track and what looks initially like a driveway. However, the Public Footpath signs confirm that this is the way without a Mandalorian in sight!
Around a gate, past some open fields with a couple of electric fences to keep the horses contained then over another stile next to a gate.
On your left you should just about be able to see in the hedgerow…
The Brampton Abbotts trig point!
When I bagged this during mid-summer, it was visible after a bit of makeshift gardening. However, it’s likely to get a little more hidden as time passes.
There was also a lot of building work going around the trig pillar so it took away from what could have been some fairly nice views. I couldn’t get a picture of the flush bracket as the trig pillar was facing into the hedge and was completely hidden in the dense hedgerow.
Views weren’t bad, couple of horses – not much else I can say about this one. A short and sweet trig point bag!
