Abstract:There are over 130 triangulation pillars (trig points) in Sussex, the almost now forgotten Ordnance Survey reference system, with the onset of GPS. Many are sited on hilltops or in areas of great natural beauty, making them worthy objectives for the walker or local explorer; many more are significant landmarks and may form the basis of an orienteering or 'treasure hunt' expedition; all are distinctive, form an interesting part of our heritage, and are worth seeing for their own sake. This book describes a series of over 90 Sussex walks of varying degrees of length and difficulty, all of which incorporate at least one trig point. Amply illustrated and providing all the practical information you need, this is the definitive guide to seeking out all the Sussex trig points. It will prove invaluable to the trig point bagger and all those who enjoy being out and about in the beautiful Sussex countryside.
