The cache is not at the published co-ordinates. It’s a simple offset multi.
Newsham Moor triangulation pillar is situated at a height of 447 metres on How Tallon Ridge right on the boundary between North Yorkshire and County Durham. There is an old cache from 2003 GCFA6E How Tallon right next to the pillar so the final for this multi is located a short distance away (under 300m) and it’s an easy flat walk from the pillar.
There are excellent views in all directions, especially to the north towards Barnard Castle. You can park to the south east and follow a track over access land to the pillar. It is a very gentle climb of about 50m over a distance of about 1.5km.
To find the cache: the published co-ordinates take you to a steel field gate in a dry-stone wall. On the south side you are in North Yorkshire, on the north side County Durham. Use the gate to work out the final co-ordinates:
N 54° 27.ABA W 001° 54.CAB
Where:
A = The number of horizontal bars -1, on the gate.
B = The number of full-length vertical bars + the number of diagonal bars on the gate
C = The number of nuts on the hinge side + B
Checksum: A + B + C = 20
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.
