#trigpoint — Public Fediverse posts

25/06/2026 - Bus out to Braemar and a hot walk up Morrone. First time visit to this one using public transport. Though it makes the day longer I like using buses if I can, gives more of a sense of adventure. The views from the top of this hill are really good of the surrounding Cairngorms National Park. Did I mention it was hot? My brain was melting on the way up. Burnt my arms too. I'm not used to this sun thing. I need to go back to my night walking!

17/06/2026 - Afternoon visit to Pressendye, a fine hill in Aberdeenshire. It was sunny and warm. The bees, butterflies and wild flowers were lovely.

First time I've managed to get a snap of a bilberry bumblebee. They are normally too busy for me.

Another one to the collection. #trigpoint

16/05/2026 - A proper Aberdeenshire weather day. It was snowing on top of the hill in the morning. In the afternoon we sat and had our lunch in the gardens with our summer hats on!

07/05/2026 - Day off work. We had a long walk over the two hills within Aberdeen city boundary, Tyrebagger Hill & Brimmond Hill. 14 miles taken slow. We were out about 9 hours. We don't rush for nothing. Even managed to visit 3 cafes, which I think is good going for a single walk. Sunshine for the most part and the rain held off. Not many humans about too which is always a good thing. Nice wild flowers and plenty of birds. It's nice walking round here.

22/03/2026 - Evening walk up Cairn William in Aberdeenshire. A nice way to end the weekend. Bit chilly but a few stars so that was nice. Quiet on the hill. The night is still easy to say hello to at the moment, next week with the clocks going forward it gets a bit tricky. Night was 20:40, next Sunday 22:01.

Sewingshields trig point from this morning... trying not to look cold!! 🤣 It was just fingers (mainly thumbs) that were the problem, and this could be related to a combo of strong/cold winds and Pacer-Poles? Fabulous route though, from Housesteads to Sewingshields, looping up around Haughton Common, and joining the Pennine Way back to the Wall. Beyond Housesteads, we only met farmers and sheepdogs all day! 😅

24/12/2025 - Black Hill trigpoint.

Evening walk on Christmas Eve. Quiet on Bennachie tonight. A dark walk round to Black Hill trigpoint and then back over the tops. We sat and had our tea halfway round. Below freezing but little wind. The stars were so good. We took our time and didn't rush, we never do.

15/11/2025 - A visit to Hill of Foudland in Aberdeenshire. I headed up this hill last week for early morning. Today we went back for a bit of evening dark. Bus out and back. We had tea on top. Just us and the trigpoint. Cold but not as cold as forecast. Nice walk though I felt tired today.

08/11/2025 - Mrs Spaceways is away this weekend so I woke early and went for a little adventure. I took the Ember bus out to Colpy to walk up Hill of Foudland in Aberdeenshire. I've not used Ember buses before. I was proper impressed. Much cheaper than the normal bus and easy to change ticket with a couple of clicks to get an earlier bus back. They are all electric too. They get a big thumbs up from me. Walk was nice if a little misty.

18/10/2025 - Sunset visit to Culardoch. It's a good walk of about 12 miles there and back to this hill near Braemar in Aberdeenshire. Weather held and the wind wasn''t too bad. Bit chilly on the top as we had our tea and waited for sunset. Great long walk back in the dark.

25/07/2025 - Friday evening walk after work. A visit to Pressendye, a fine hill in Aberdeenshire. Quiet on the hill this evening which is what I was needing. The late sunshine was lovely on the purple heather. We found a spot out of the wind and had our tea. Dark on the way back.

01/07/2025 - We took the day off work and headed into Moray to spend the day on Ben Rinnes looking for wild flowers and good stuff. The weather behaved and so did my legs. It was great to see different plants to my local patch. A really top day out.

10/05/2025 - Trig to trig walk on Bennachie this evening. We hadn't planned to visit both trigpoints but the weather was good and with the twilight sky starting to darken I felt a need to see some stars. A good walk, quiet on the hill. The big moon kept us company all night. Got home about 3am.

Today sees our last #LakeDistrict #trigpoint photo and it's Jessie, of course, sitting close beside the trig point on Skiddaw.

We are almost out of #LakeDistrict #trigpoint photos but here's the one on The Old Man of Coniston taken on another fairly sunny day.

We've got lots of walks up or around the Old Man

Here's the #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint on Seatallan on a clear but cold February day. Traditional stone construction again, so much nicer than concrete.

You can visit it on our walk "Middle Fell, Seatallan, Buckbarrow - a Greendale round"

Oooh, we've found another good photo of the #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint on Red Screes.

Not sure why we stopped posting #LakeDistrict #Trigpoint but here's the one on Red Screes. Traditional stone construction and in good condition when we visited on a fine April day.

You can visit on our walk 'Red Screes and Middle Dodd from Ambleside'
