Rob Naylor Note: It took two visits to find this one. Very faint cuts and partially obscured by white lichen made it very hard to see. It’s on quite a low, minor rock in an area of many other rocks, some much more prominent and more ‘obvious’ to use as B.M. locations I would have thought. Considerable feather and tare work has robbed this area of many blocks of granite and I had previously thought that this was yet another victim to gate post cutters in this area.

SidebySide

Max Piper Note: One of my best finds (if I’m allowed to say that?) as I had searched extensively but had given up, only to notice the B.M. on this slat slab when leaving the location. It really was very hard to see, obscured by lichen and moss, until I brushed it to reveal a modest cut. Only thing was, as I was so excited with the find, I forgot to record an accurate NGR, so hopefully the photos will help you find this one!

The photo on the right is looking uphill towards Great Trowlesworthy Tor. The white ring encloses the slab on which this B.M. can be found.
