BENCHMARKS continued
Old
bridges are good places to look for 'marks; and railway bridges are
perhaps best of all. In his extensive hunt down through the
south-east in 2012, M.C. struck it rich, particularly on the bridges
along the Dublin/Rosslare Line. However, he knew he had missed out on
a good few too. And so on a late June Sunday in Anno Domini 2015, and
partnered with Benchmarker, the quest to bring closure was on.
The
first one into the net is on a railway bridge on a bye-road off the R752, about halfway
between Rathdrum and Glenealy, in the townland of Bahana in County
Wicklow.

Wicklow.

the R752 with the 'mark, almost swallowed up by the earth, at bottom
