Description
WUTTRICK TRIG-68416
This cache consists of only the bronze survey plate which is set in a precast concrete block placed at ground level, but has no trig-station framework above.
The 'Triangulation Station' marker is what makes it a Trig Point, so it's added to the database.
This marker has an associated stamp ID value: 68416

We parked near the barrier and walked the short distance to the trig marker. We noticed that the local authorities appear to be planning some development of the road and possibly the canal.
We were glad it was cold and wet today and the snake seen when the previous finder was in the area was well hidden.
