Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the published coordinates; however, the trig point at Great Fantom Hall is. It's positioned on private land, and the adjacent road is also private. I've been passing by this area regularly for work, unaware of its significance until the recent revival of the Ye Ole Survey Monuments series.

The cache itself is hidden in this vicinity and is publicly accessible, unlike the trig point. A bit of map reading prowess and some trigonometry skills will be your allies in finding the cache.

The cache is hidden at:

840 meters from TP3453 - Great Fanton Hall

5895 meters from TP6070 - South Hanningfield

and

7910 meters from TP4553 - Lovedown  (note that the location provided by online resources may differ slightly from where this trig point can be seen today. It's not so far off as to be unsolvable using that resource, but for an accurate calculation, please refer to the actual location.)

Good Luck!
 

About Ye Ole Survey Monuments

Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).

 

YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.

Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

 

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the YOSM Website

 

If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
