After picking up the nearby lab caches I carried on into the Moor.

As I got near to GZ I spotted the hint item and quickly found the cache exactly as described

This was our 3rd opencache of the day on a fairly difficult walk of at least 8 miles starting at Sharptor and looping around to Newel Tor before heading back.  The terrain is of course not too dissimilar to Dartmoor but probably not walked as often.  This is a very good cache in excellent condition in a nice location, many thanks for placing.

Out with a friend on a socially distancing walk, in an area that I wouldnt come to very often.  Have done a few caches here in the past, and also walked here over the years, whilst living in Cornwall, in various parts of Conwall.  We also did a walk that involved starting in Horrabridge across to Treburley, then onto Delabole, then back to Minions and then back to Horrabridge via somewhere else which as of now I cant remember.  A truly epic walk, trying to keep to footpaths, staying in various friends houses, and our own , and bed and breakfast at Minions. I recollect it was in total 4 days walking.  Its lovely to walk a different area, and the day was ideal weatherwise, not too hot, not to cold, just a bit of light drizzle at one time, but fine.  Thanks for a well presented cache.

We thought, due to name, we'd be dangling over the edge of Golddiggings Quarry! Back when I was young and a imbecile, I jumped into this quarry, swan out and cyclied back to the Bunkhouse at Minions!! Complete nut job!!! Anyway cache was easily found under its rock a good few hundred metres away on the ' edge of the hill'. Off for our last dog-leg to Tregarrick Tor.

I have been to this location a couple of times in the past without noting this caches existence. Today we (with Wanderer) came from Withybrook with a quick stop at the highpoint to revisit the burial / gravestone-- wonder who he was??? Anyway, great location and cache--- we couldnt see it at first as it was so well blended in to its surroundings.. Thanks very much for setting this cache .... fave if I could!!

Walked from Minions via Tregarric Tor to look for this cache.

A very cold morning with ground solid underfoot.

Thanks for placing this cache is a wonderful area.

Arrived here from Minions via Tregarrick Tor and several Groundspeak caches. When we set out it was the first sunny day of our holiday, but by the time we got here it was back to being windy, cold and overcast, with rain in the air.

The cache was found quickly, thanks to the good hint, then we looked for somewhere to shelter from the wind while we ate our lunch. The ditch beside the wall offered a little respite, though not much because the wind was coming along the ditch from the south west. And the bottom of the ditch was flooded .

And we found that Mrs. A. had forgotten to pack any dog biscuits, so Maisie the geospaniel had to share a bite from my sandwiches .

Thanks for the cache, and a lovely walk on the moor,

Rgds, Andy, Marion and Maisie

This was my last find during an excellent day out on this corner of the moor. Great views from a nice quiet spot & a straightforward find. Many thanks!

The container was slightly damp but I managed to dry it out fairly well before moving on. Took nothing, left Pathtag.

Found without too much difficulty, lovely views from Cache site.  Anvil shape?  TFTC

The morning had started cold and frosty, but by the time we got up on these particular moors the sun was shining and we were feeling quite warm, feeling spring in the air. We enjoyed our walk here, this took in two geocaches on the way ending with this Opencache. Cache was a quick find by Windrush.

A well stocked cache exactly where the GPS said it should be and at the end of a pleasant walk, what more could I ask for?  Many thanks for this one.

After a good walk up around Sharp Tor and Twelve Mans Moor I used the mountain bike to visit this 
one today. The fog had gone so I was expecting a good ride but as I reached the quarry it started 
to rain and got steadily worse as the day went on. Finding the cache was straightforward but I had to 
be quick to avoid everything getting wet.

From here I headed across to Sibleyback Views cache which was hard going but enjoyable just 
the same.

Thanks for the cache and for bringing me back to "The Wall".
