The eastern slopes of Mount Zion, also known as Foredown Ridge Site of Nature Conservation Importance, are important chalk downland habitats noted for Horseshoe Vetch, Pyramidal Orchid, Round-headed Rampion and Cowslip. It is not known why this hill has this biblical name.
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.
