With Father Ted, we dropped off Roger Templeman within sight of the cupola at the end of a great day of trigging and benchmarking as part of the triggers spring gathering.

Just dropping RT off when someone mentions that there's a Trigpoint directly ahead. Now there's a bonus to end the day!

Bridport is a favourite town of mine which I've visited many times over the years. The Town Hall was built in 1785/6, and the cupola & clock were added some 20 years later. Bridport has a rope-making tradition but you wouldn't want to be stabbed by a Bridport dagger! Much better to buy a (bright green coloured) skipping rope for my daughter I decided.
