We've been up on Gardom's Edge before trying to find this thing, but we were in luck this time. I'd say that both the map cited in Stubob's link (below) and the directions given in the Morgans' Rock Around The Peak book are actually a little misleading, but with this being such a fragile facsimile, that's no bad thing at all. While I'm not generally for the preservation of fibre-glass, this is the nearest we've got to the original, which, as Stubob said, has been reburied to combat erosion. Hmmm indeed.
Of course, a visit to a piece of fibre-glass can be ultimately unfulfilling, but this is a very convincing copy (until you tap it and realise it's hollow, or lean on it and feel it sag) of a wonderful piece of art and its position on the edge of the woodland with views towards Nelson's Monument and the Three Ships (3 large outcrops on Birchen Edge) is superb.
