Trigpoint on TV this evening


Recommended Posts

There was a BBC cameraman and a couple of guys from the Ordnance Survey at the Cold Ashby trigpoint this morning filming a spot for the BBC Anglia Region's 'Look East' program at 6:30 this evening. It was to commemorate the 75th anniversary of first sightings taken in the last triangulation of Great Britain on 18th April 1936. A motley collection of trigpointers turned up while they were filming and might have got in on the action... :rolleyes:

and also a very brief introductory clip from 18m20s to 18m30s into the programme.

 

Does any one recognise the trigpoint(s) in the Tellurometer archive footage from 1961?

Not certain but the brief glimpse of the wall behind the T/P looks suspiciously like Box Hill.

Could quite well be, brickwork looks very similar.

Tried the iPlayer but not available. Shame..

Pharisse is correct.He also has a very good eyesight as the wall barely appears !

What also kind of confirms this is the final scene where you can see a couple of intrepid ramblers stepping out from the lower car park in front of the Burford Bridge hotel.This is at the base of Box Hill.
