So, if you're looking for something to do with the kids in the summer holidays, maybe bagging a trig point or two might be just the thing to keep them occupied for a few hours here and there.

If you spend time wandering around the UK, you will undoubtely have come across a concrete strucure like this one in Maryhill Park in Glasgow. They are trig pillars, and they were first used to map Britain in 1936.
