Two questions coming up ... First question: how many trig points are there in the Lake District National Park? I think I could work this out from the trigpointing.uk database, but perhaps there's someone out there who knows the answer already! Second question: which one is this?

Synge - it wuldn't tke too long to count from TPds Fetch's points. Green triangles with black dots, I think. Here's a sample, but 4 or 5 similar screens should cover it? |

Because of the sharp bumpiness of the Lakes there are relatively few trigs. However the Peak District is a completely different kettle of fish.
