I wanted to make the most of the extraordinary weather and get out for a ride on the motorbike. So i planned this cache and then another fine pair in harrow barrow on the way to do some maintenance on a cache of mine in Saltash. Once here at the GZ i loaded my phone but no signal and no cache description. So i wrote down the phone number and the PL number from the post box just in case. Rode along the road a bit and managed to get some signal out the other side of the valley. I loaded the cache and worked out the sums! A quick ride around Sampford Spiney then parked up and a nice quick find. All is well with the cache and i signed and replaced where i found it.

Thanks for the cache

I have enjoyed the Fine Pair series and have extended it myself. I have passed this spot many times and thought to myself that this needs a Fine Pair. I never did get round to applying for the number though. Today, it was no surprise when I received an email to say that this location had finally been rewarded with a Fine Pair.

Once I finished work I decided to head home via this way as the weather was good. I go home via Yelverton and Tavistock quite regularly on my motorbike if the weather is being kind, and that was definitely the case today. In fact Facebook has been inundated with cachers sharing pictures of the wonderful weather on the moor today.

I parked up by the smaller of the two items as a lady was just depositing a letter. Once the coast was clear I crossed over to the larger item and entered to obtain the required information. The door was stiff and in fact wedged itself open on the overgrown grass outside. Probably a sign of its lack of use. Inside there was the dreaded sign, threatening the removal of this iconic symbol.

I jotted the numbers down and after a quick calculation had a new set of co ordinates which were viable. A short walk later I was at GZ and once the area was clear of horse riders I started my search. At first I feared that the cache may have suffered from the recent trimming as I struggled to find it, whilst being whipped and scratched by the last remaining brambles. I eventually laid my hands on the coveted container and opened it to find a nice clean logbook.

A definite FAV point for another Fine Pair, especially in a place where I had considered.
