The intention with this website is to locate at least 1,001 benchmark sites, or die in the attempt (no flowers please, house private). Photos of any benchmark sites found will be posted at intervals over the coming days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries ... Anyone who wishes to contribute can send photos and descriptions of any benchmarks they find and would like to have included here, to mfbourke@gmail.com See post Number 1 for a fuller description.

NUMBER 393

BENCHMARKS continued
While Benchmarker was away for a month recently - gallivanting under African skies - and Ireland was being buffeted by a particularly inclement Spring, M.C., not for the first time, and displaying courage and fortitude, hitched himself singularly to the yoke of the benchmark hunt. The result: 31 'marks, an average of one a day. At this rate the great ambition to bag 1,001, must surely be achieved. Well done M.C!
