The Fonaby Triangulation Point
This was part of a multicache but now a traditional. (Sorry to people who have been to this location before).
You can park in nearby areas and walk beside the road a short distance. As soon as beside this on the road it is in the hedge and easily accessible all times of year with fantastic views.
Please let me know immediately if you cannot find this as it should be easily found on the western side covered with sticks.
Enjoy the views.

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.
