&gt; &gt; Take a BENL marker: I&#39;ve seen some in a pretty sad state, due <br/>
&gt; to lack<br/>
&gt; &gt; of maintenance.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; having followed eef from pillar to post<br/>
&gt; i imagined benl only used those funny chess bishops<br/>
&gt; or do you mean the sad state of even these<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I do mean the sad state of the bishops. Apart from flaking paint, <br/>
rust, and not standing upright anymore, the bishop&#39;s hat is more than <br/>
once missing. I mean, of course, the little pine cone-like thing on <br/>
top. Eef has photographed a fair number of these bareheaded <br/>
monsignors. He also has an interesting news item on his site about <br/>
this lack of maintenance, that appeared in a Dutch newspaper. Here it <br/>
says that all main markers will be restored to full glory in 2002 <br/>
(the article is from 2001).<br/>
<br/>
BTW: there are also other, intermediate, markers along BENL, but <br/>
these are (all? - I don&#39;t know) lower stones.<br/>
