Geocache Description:

This is our third YOSM cache. It is a camo waterproof tube close to the trig pillar (but on the other side of the hedge to the trig pillar) in a place which gives magnificent views over Swaffham Bulbeck and the surrounding area towards Cambridge.  


Access GZ by walking up the bridleway. Access the trig pillar by walking past GZ for 25m, where there is a big gap in the hedge on the left.

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 https://yosm.org.uk so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
