Trig points were used by Ordnance Survey in the 1950s to survey the United Kingdom and map out the contours that we are used to seeing on maps today. A lot of the original trig points still stand atop hills like this one and are often used by hill walkers and other outdoor enthusiasts as a navigation aid.
Leachie HIll boasts fantastic views all the way to the coast.
Using the forestry paths you can get almost all the way to the trig and this cache although there is some off piste walking required. It is a nice walk through a variety of terrain.
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.
