... Yes! Thats right! a Rock which totally looked like a bench...
... see it really did (and probably still does) look like a bench!
Does it deserve a BenchMark and a Bench Review?! Darn right it does!
This bench was located most the way up a large hill which I climbed the other day. I have been meaning to walk up there for some weeks now as there is a trig point on the top of the hill* which has a trigpoing siteID of TP1041 (which turns out also to be a flight between Barcelona and Lisbon), but I thought I would take the scenic route to the top, which unfortunately meant walking up one hill, then back down into some marshland then finally trekking up to the (as you will now know from clicking on the links above) triangulation pillar at the top.
The views stretched right out across Morecambe Bay to the left and to the Duddon Channel to the right or turn round and reverse those directions, or spin round and get a very confused sheep looking at you strangely.
BenchMark: 4/5 This sturdy rock loses a mark for not actually being a bench, but gains a handful for the fact it will be there, in the same position, giving weary travelers a place to sit and a bench to review for many a year yet... even through a zombie invasion... I imagine. In fact I would go as far as to say it would survive a zombie invasion. For all your people who searched for "what would survive a zombie invasion, would a bench?" That is my answer!
Coming soon, your complete guide to things which are not benches, but are often used like one...
*Actually no idea why I wanted to go up there, but I saw the trig point one day and thought "I must go there one day"... well that day has come (and as I wrote this the day after, gone too)
