Travelling Geocaches

GC45CC - Ye Ole Survey Monuments

Mmmmmm a travelling geocache...different...well yeah, it is!!

Ye Ole Survey Monuments is a travelling geocache that is owned by outforthehunt. The cache moves around the country and you could be looking for a specific survey monument, pillar, surface block, rivet or bolt. Unlike conventional geocaches with this cache you need to record the co-ordinates you find and make a note of them on your log. (Explanation taken from http://www.yosm.co.uk/)

I completed the cache over the Mega weekend whilst the cache was located at Brean Down in Somerset. As with a lot of pillars and trigpoints, the view was absolutely breathtaking however getting there wasn't particularly easy. It was one hell of a climb up the side of the hill.

So unlike the usual fixed caches, this one can be logged many times as long as you visit each location and take the required details.

So.....where is my next YOSM...actually not far up the road from my house so I think a caching visit is in order to log some more.
