Having been up on the ridge I can confirm the original location is no longer available. I'll hopefully set another cache nearby in the not too distant future. If I can't find anywhere suitable I'll archive this cache and place a completely new one.

Visited the stated co-ordinates about the same time as today's visit but on that occasion there was a layer of snow on the ground. Today there was no snow and from the attached photograph you will see that there has been some ground vegetation clearance and the cache has gone

Logging on 8th Jan 2010 after finding the cache in August last year when it was a TerraCache. Here is my TerraCaching log:

While I enjoyed the "village" caches, this one was my favourite of the day. This sort of cache is the reason I go caching:-)A lovely walk, and brilliant views.

At the top I battled my way through the prickly gorse to the "obvious marker", and found the cache slightly exposed. When I opened it I saw, to my surprise, that it had already been found this very day, but by a non-cacher:-)Quite why someone should struggle through this gorse with no cache as their target beats me, but obviously the are other nutty people in the world apart from cachers Laughing.

They had left some packets of coffee and sugar, and a note in the log to say "have a drink on us". I took these and have indeed "had a drink on them". If the folks who found the cache visit this site and read this log, thank you for respecting the cache and leaving it tidily. Thank you too for you kind gifts, though if you should take up this game of ours it's generally better not to leave foodstuffs in caches as they attract wild animals.

And thanks too to "The Hornet" for setting the cache,

Rgds, Andy
