To Durlston for lunch at the cafe to celebrate the Old Man’s birthday. Hadn’t done any homework but vaguely remembered rivet was adjacent a drain cover ... luckily, the fourth one I tried, to the mystified views of other car park users!

a little grassy but rivet standing proud between road gully and kerb, and easily found

Remarkably easy to find this one, but glad I saw photo before coming away. In car park of Durlston Head Country park.

Would never have found this without the photo! Glorious afternoon and good views to the south. Camper van parked only a couple of feet away!

I was in Swanage for the Folk Festival and managed to sneak away for long enough to bag this one. I’ve found enough of these to recognise this one the instant I spotted it. Located in the concrete surround of a drain in the corner of a car park. As the car park is surrounded by bushes, the views could be better.

I didn't know I was looking for a surface block although I did suspect it might have been. I had a look around but couldn't find it. I even took a photo and have got the kerb in but not the TP. Ah well, next time I'll know where to look :)

First trig for ages and its not even a full size one! This was not that hard to find thanks to the photo and GPS and is in all honesty not that thrilling when found.Swanage is an old weekend away fav for me and it was nice to get back if only for a day.

Used to come here as a kid. Nice easy find, after reading the reference to a drain by previous finder.

It was a very murky day, absolutely no view out to sea. That kept the number of visitors to this country park down, so hopefully not too many people wondered why I took a photograph of a drain. The picnic table shown on the OS diagram has been moved elsewhere. GR to 10m only.

TP0350 The drain is in the the corner of this parking bay. The Landrover isn't mine.
