Finding interesting places to go with qgis

1) Get the list of places from megalithic.co.uk - fiddle with the web inspector 2) Get all the uk geocaches - browse to geocaching.com, fiddle the map to get the view you want and look for promising url in the inspector.
3) Copy that as a curl command to get the session and paste it into download_ny_dales_geocaches.sh 4) Get the list of sota summits from: https://www.sotadata.org.uk/summitslist.csv 5) Get the set of pota parks: run download_uk_pota.sh 6) Get the list of trig points from https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/gps/legacy-control-information/triangulation-stations, https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/documents/gps/CompleteTrigArchive.zip 7) Fire up the qqis project

duckdb is great for this sort of thing too. Wonder of we can capture this output in qgis?
