Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the co-ordinates given, it is located a short distance away.  The co-ordinates will take you to Binns Top Surface Block which is a 1ft square block of concrete with a 10cm deep rod type bolt in the middle.  The metal bolt has been damaged over the years and now appears quite 'chewed' and difficult to spot.

The surface block can be found in the top left corner of the clearing when facing the wind turbine.

Binns Top Surface Block had a good line of sight with Southowram Trig Point, which was located in the direction of the phone mast on the horizon, the trig point was destroyed in September 2008 by an expansion of the quarry off Pinnar Lane.

In order to find the cache you will need to complete this Waldmeister Reverse Wherigo, the information you need is here:

Good luck.

 


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.
