The beacon for this trig was designed by Brett King and is also a gnonmon.

Huh. TIL what a gnomon is. Every day is a school day.
A2C1 - 662 Flagstaff Hill MR, Russell. Looks a canny spot.

Yes. Spelling was never my strong point. It was built in 1988 to celebrate the centenary of the NZIS. It can be occupied but I guess that lines of sight to the north might be a little bit obscured.

Right. From the family archives, this was taken c.1962. It is squarely in Mr Geddes' patch, on what is now a popular walking track. If one turned to the right one would see the embryonic form of a South Island resort town.

Trig C Mt Iron (maybe prior to the current beacon being put on it), A3P9.

Clue: This Otago trig, founded in 1881, is on a hill that carries the name of a skin growth you might find of a witch's nose. It is not beaconed and can be seen nestled in the rocks just right of centre on the photo.

You got the Wart bit right. For location though, try close to Roxburgh/Piano Flat area.

So it's going to be A-Z (Wart Hill SD), but which one? I'm going to guess F [A2U0].

OK, here goes, from my final assignation with Andersen & Associates. This 6th order mark is a canny spot to have your lunch. To my right is the valley where the government keeps its spying gear, and to the left is a valley named for a favourite pastime of tom cats.

.....I think we need another clue.....(also BUMP looks like a 9th order mark near Gisborne Airport).

I'll willingly re-start the game... This one is not a recent image - although the predicted cold snap forecast may result in some snow at this location. - The first clue is that it is in the South Island.
- A second clue is that it is a "Mount".
