Geocache Description:


Of the 214 Wainwright summits, 26 have Ordnance Survey triangulation pillars on their summits. Within this group the pillar on Loadpot Hill has a unique feature. It Is the only pillar which is not mentioned in the relevant chapter of his pictorial guidebooks. The Far Eatern Fells was published in May 1957, but the pillar was not built until June 1961.

The cache is a simple tube, triple wrapped for freshness. It is under a rock, hidden by a smaller rock. Please do not put anything on top when rehiding. See spoiler photos.

************************************************

 

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.
