Pillar at Bwlch Mawr
A new cache but an 'old skool' hide. This is a slightly more challenging trig to reach than many others but one that's certainly worth the effort.
"Bwlch Mawr" is a small hill marking the western end of the Gyrn Goch range. It's name literally translates as "the big pass". I imagine it was named for the large 'bwlch' stretching from this spot to the mountains of Eryri opposite.
There are multiple trails up to GZ. When I hid the cache I started in Clynnog Fawr and took the most direct route. Whichever way you decide to walk, keep safe and give yourself plenty of time.
Mwynhewch!
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.
