+Simply Paul Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 While caching beside the Solent this week, drsolly and I came across a trigpoint at a mighty 10m (33ft) above sea level, near CG17VH4. As I'm expecting to climb up Ben Nevis again next year, for an event (fingers crossed) and should see the UK's highest trig up there again, as well as the UK's highest cache, I was wondering where the lowest trig and cache are. There are lots of caches within a few feet of mean sea level, but I've not been able to locate any below sea level, but still on dry land. If anyone's got any bright ideas, or knows how I can search for them (trigs and caches) I'd love to know. Thanks Quote Link to comment

+The Gecko's Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Paul THIS appears to be the lowest trig in the UK at -1M. Surprisingly the nearest cache is 5.9 miles away. Dave - The Gecko's Quote Link to comment
