| Ye Ole Survey Monuments (GC45CC) was a travelling geocache that is owned by outforthehunt. The cache moved around the country and you could be looking for a specific survey monument, pillar, surface block, rivet or bolt. As each location was a unique place multiple logs were allowed. This was true until it was archived by Groundspeak in 2017. However, the locations can still be visited and those visits logged on the Memorial Cache (see below). The interactive map at the bottom of the page and the downloads available in the resources section should help you find the nearest ones to you. |

| GAGB Lab Cache |
In August 2019 Geocaching Association of Great Britain (GAGB) have created a Adventure Lab Cache in tribute to the original YOSM series, which was archived by Groundspeak in 2017. The GAGB's new Adventure Lab takes you to the 10 most visited YOSM locations. If you complete all of the stages in person, then you will have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain. Good Luck! The ten locations are: YSM0623 Mersea Gun Emplacement
