A simple cache hidden away near to a triangulation point, also known as a Trig point.
This one may seem like it is in a weird place considering the land around it is higher. This is mainly because that land was raised due to the man made mounds from left over clay waste.
The public footpath between the parking area and the triangulation point is open, HOWEVER the footpaths from the parking down to the main Roche to Stenalees road are all CLOSED due to the new bypass road being built. Please do not follow any of these pathways.
The path to this cache gets very muddy all year round, and there are a lot of brambles en route to GZ.
I would advise on wellies from October to April, and sturdy boots for the rest of the year. The area is moorland and will hold water and be very muddy.
The cache is a medium sized container, with room for small TB's.
Please replace as found and try not to damage the container. There is a lot of gorse, heather, brambles and tussocks on the way to GZ, so you will need to watch yourself as you head there. This is why I have put not suitable for finding at night.
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.

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.
