This is not an easy trigpoint to visit and it involves walking over pathless terrain for at least the final section, it can be completed as a set of trigs in either direction, H, E, F, P, G seemingly the easiest route.
Firstly visit the trigpoint and take note of the following answers:
(i) The number on the flush bracket, if no flush bracket is present ABCD will equal 0000 (ABCD),
(ii) Take note of the type of trigpoint - if the trig is a Hotine (with a square top) E=2, if the trigpoint is a Vanessa (with a round top) E=3.
(iii) Observe the top of the trigpoint. Looking at the spider (the metal work), how many cross marks can you see (all the Great Glen project trigpoints have these marks, some also have small stamped triangles) F=number of cross marks.
Whilst you are out and about in the Great Glen keep an eye out for other trigpoints as there are two that have never been found!

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.
