This is an unusual trig point is in the trigpointing database asTP7568 - Mynydd Rudry and described as a surface block. A surface block often have a 2" brass done on top but this one had a square metal plate on top of the block.
The main paths that are less overgrown and lead to the top tend to be those that loop aorund to the side of the hill and then up from the east or west rather than the one that goes directly up from the car park.
On a fine day there are great views from up here down to the Severn Estuary and all around.
After finding the trig point its time to find the geocache. Take ten steps down towards the car park then two to the left.
Please recover after replacing it.
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.
