Hiking

(OSBM S2389–TP5272) - What are trigs? Trig points are fixed surveying stations that were built by Ordnance Survey to map the contours of the land. "They are generally found on the highest bit of ground in the area, so that there is a direct line of sight from one pillar to the next. By placing a theodolite on the top of the pillar, accurate angles between pairs of nearby trig-points could be measured in a process known as Triangulation."
