Click here to go to the Government website range firing times.
St Bellarmins Tor is situated just outside of Millpool, on Bodmin Moor. It is also close to Temple, and parking is available nearby in both these places. The trig point is placed on the tor, and is in good condition. It is 268m above sea level according to the OS map.
The cache is near to the firing range, but outside of the marked area. Depending on the direction of approach, you may not even enter the range area. The area is marked by red and white poles, and there are also red flags that fly when the range is in use. DO NOT enter if the flags are up.
Take care with children and dogs in the area, there are a few steep drops. There are usually cows, sheep and horses about, so dogs will need to be on a lead.
You attempt this cache at your own risk.
Suggested parking waypoints added, but there are multiple entry points so you could park further away and walk in from a different part. There is NO proper parking in Millpool, which is why I have suggested the widest part of the road. You then need to walk back into Millpool and pick which footpath to walk onto the moor.
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.
Congratulations to Buzio on his FTF
