This is a rambling book with a difference! It offers a new walking objective - to seek out and log up to 150 Peak District Ordnance Survey triangulation pillars...'trigpointing'. It gives an invaluable introduction - summary information on navigation, triangulation and mapping. You can hone your navigational skills - using either a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver or good compass - but preferably both. It includes 20 primary walks - mostly with two pillars each - in areas as far apart as Holme Moss, Leek and Sheffield, plus suggestions for many more. You can spend a while, dally at each pillar, scan the beautiful Peak District landscape, get to know all the geographical features...and spot other nearby pillars. This book also includes details of aircraft wrecks, historical landmarks and geological features, supported by fascinating background information, history and folklore, along with comprehensive route plans, GPS waypoint and compass bearing summary table provided for each walk. Bitten by the trigpointing bug - if so, Keith and Peter challenge you to visit 1000 trigpoints before you hang up your boots!
