Some of my #IrelandTrigPillar photos to celebrate The Ireland Walking Guide’s #NovemberTrigWalk theme.
I was a map addict long before I became a hillwalker. Even though I hadn’t yet set foot in the Irish uplands, I knew those little triangular symbols on the maps represented something special in the real world.
Below I have compiled a photo log of the trig pillars I have visited over the years up to and including the year 2018.
(As a result of this blog post, all of the trig pillars below have now been marked as verified on The Ireland Walking Guide‘s dedicated Google Map.)
