Baby’s 1st trig 🔼 Ordnance Survey #TrigWeek

Apparently it’s #TrigWeek ! Old Winchester Hill was the first hill I climbed after hip surgery and long recovery. I hugged the trig point out of sheer happiness to be there! 🤗 😃 🥾

It’s Ordnance Survey Trrg Week, celebrating the anniversary of the trig point. Where’s your favourite? #ordnancesurvey #trigweek #trigpoint

Happy 88th birthday 🥳 to the Trig Pillar Ordnance Survey #TrigWeek

Question is do you know where they all?

Clue one is in the OS top 10 favourites list.

Happy Birthday to the @ordnancesurvey Trig pillar!

Today marks the 88th anniversary of when the first trig pillar was used in 1936. Here’s a shot from the UK’s highest trig on the summit of Ben Nevis at 1,345m 😊

Ever wondered what the inside of a trig pillar looks like? 💡

Like an iceberg, there is more below the surface than above it. This is how trig points were designed during the retriangulation of Britain. 👇 #TrigWeek

It's #Trigweek so here's a few places that we've been to up on th'hills thanks to the Ordnance Survey app.

Well seeing as it’s the Ordnance Survey #trigweek I thought I’d do a thread on some of the worthwhile ones in the Peak (as I’ve visited almost all of them in 2020)

The trig point on top of Shipton Hill, near Shipton Gorge in Dorset. With views toward Golden Cap and Lyme Bay in the distance. #Trigweek #DORSET

It's #TrigWeek ! Can you spot the mountainous areas? ⛰️

This visualisation was created using the OS Complete Trig Archive (a legacy dataset). The gridded cartogram explores the relationship between areas with the most trig pillars and their elevation.

Thought I'd join in with the spirit of Ordnance Survey #trigweek and do a post to mark the anniversary of when the first trig pillar was installed in 1936.
This beauty is located on Diffwys in the southern Rhinogs.

Considering the hills I've been up today, bit disappointed I didn't bag an Ordnance Survey trig for their 88th birthday!

Did get one last Friday, though. Bit early for #trigweek , but what the hell!

Created using the OS Complete Trig Archive (a legacy dataset), this gridded cartogram explores the relationship between areas with the most trig pillars and their elevation. Can you use the legend to spot mountainous areas?

So how does OS survey today? 🤔

The modern equivalent is the OS Net network of 110 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. Surveyors use OS Net and GNSS technology every day to position new map details. What took hours can now be done in seconds!
