  1. Only recently discovered uk.rec.walking. Interested to see the
    occasional postings reg trig points. There is a Yahoo Group I help
    manage, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trigonomy.

    "This group is for discussion relating to Ordnance Survey
    triangulation pillars, flush brackets, bench marks, and other Ordnance
    Survey structures. The emphasis is on the historical and technical
    aspects, and on maintaining lists of pillars and related structures."
    (From home page.)

    Should emphasise that it is not a 'bagging' site, but is more to do
    with studying the history and function of the pre-GPS triangulation
    and levelling (height measuring) networks of the British Isles.

    * Currently members of the group are creating a list of trig points
    marked on Irish maps - 80% complete, but struggling with the
    southernmost part of Ireland. If anyone has 1:50000 maps of this area
    please see http://groups.yahoo.com/groups/trigonomy/files/readme.txt
    for details of how to contribute.
