Peak District Trigpointing Walks:
Hill walking with a point to it!

Keith Stevens & Peter Whittaker

Trig points have the great advantage of being located on hills, so walks based on them ensure superb views. Finding the trig points is a great exercise in map-reading and navigation!

Here are 20 exciting walks in the Peak District, each with the objective of locating at least two of the old Ordnance Survey Triangulation pillars. The book begins with a history of the Ordnance Survey, the construction of the pillars and the science of triangulation. Bringing things up to date, the use of GPS receivers is covered and there are lists and maps with locations and co-ordinates for over 250 pillars in the Peak District. Ramblers will relish the challenge of these walks!
