There’s been a few suggestions on the last thread, but I want to go with one of my earlier ideas.
The theme for next weekend will be measuring and marking the land.
If that’s too cryptic, just stick with trig points.
If you want to try to find something a bit different though, well, there’s milestones and mileposts for a start and the less common boundary stones, all marked on OS maps.
There’s also various dykes and walls marking the boundaries of ancient kingdoms and empires.
There’s summit markers on hills and flood depth markers in valleys.
Anything similar with historical importance or interest will do.
How do people feel about making this a week long challenge from now on, rather than just a weekend ?
Some people work shifts or have other commitments at weekends, so they might find it easier to get out during the week. There will be a lot more midweek evening rides going on once the weather warms up and the days get longer too.
Shall we start this one at midnight tonight then, so it’s Monday to Sunday ? Or would Saturday to Friday be better ? Or just stick to weekends, it’s not like I’m too bothered if people post on the wrong day.
