Easily located Surface Block, I found the aid of the logged image by jonglue and lined up the stone post and back of the cattle grid sign, nice area and views.

Location as shown by CJO. Despite being found 1 month go this block was still overgrown and difficult to spot. I cleared the overlying turf and young gorse to expose it better.

Good condition but sadly overgrown and hidden by a patch of gorse. Took a few attempts prior to me locating it.

Just cannot calculate how many hundreds of times I have driven past this one, or even how many times I have even walked past, but wet day of trawling though the TP website produced its existence at long last! Coords slightly awry but a couple of minutes of wandering around I soon found this surface block. Having problems loading the photos.....

Easy one to bag and as previously posted, just about found it, covered in water after overnight rain. On our way up Rippon Tor to get that Trig. Great sunny afternoon, nice place on the moor.

First trig of the day after leaving Dartmoor YHA and before visiting nearby Rippon Tor. Had OS sketch but not really needed; paced out 15m from Cattle Grid sign and there is was largely uncovered. Grass is encroaching from last visitor's clearance in mid-2012, but left as I found it.

Having just come down from Rippon Tor, this was an easy bonus trig. Using a previous finder’s photograph, it was easy to identify the location. It needed some re-excavating but it was quickly found.

Of a little more significance to me than Erme Harrier - my 200th log since starting 18 months ago. I suppose I could have chosen a more auspicious one !

This is my first ever surface block and passive station visited. It would be nice to know how these are actually still used. The surface block was a very easy find, it is on the grass verge close to where there is a cattle grid after the road branches off.

Luckily this SB had recently been uncovered. Easy location off a major (for Dartmoor) road junction. Much better views from the nearby Rippon Tor (TP5689).
