I had a lovely wander around Riddon Ridge on this glorious Spring afternoon, reminding me of a similar day years back when I found this cache, but strangely forgot to log! So, I got to GZ and found it very quickly. On opening the logbook, weirdly, bizarrely or spooky I was here on the very same day 3 years ago in the same weather conditions ????!!!!! 
I have memories of coming here around 1980 for the original letterbox,  ack then the plantation was full of mature conifers which made the ruins easier to access!!

Thought I'd try this one after coming along this way to check on one of my geocaches.  Pretty cold today but clear and fresh, shan't be going down to paddle in the water though.

We parked up in the nearby car park then walked down beside the river until we had to climb up to the cache site. Located the cache quickly but it seemed a bit reluctant to leave its hiding place. We then walked on up to the other cache nearby before walking back along the ridge.

A nice gentle walk across the ridge and then down to the cache site. I didn't go on down to the house today as I was running short on time but I have visited in the past on the way to the stepping stones downstream. I didn't have my sighting compass with me today so was unsure how I would fare with this one but it turned out to be quite a quick find using the none compass bit of the hintSmile.

Another great location I've been taken to today, many thanks.

 

A slightly older house ruins I passed on the way here.

I made a real meal of this one, approaching from completely the wrong direction. I walked down the track on the west side of the river, looking for a way down and across. I had to go a long way south of the cache before I could reach the river at all, then walked back north along the overgrown bank until eventually I found a long, convoluted and quite risky crossing point.

Once on the right side of the river I was thwarted by dense gorse and forest from heading up towards the cache, and I came across the second house referred to on the cache page. Eventually I reached the drystone wall running up the hill and was able to ascend beside it.

An exhausted cacher eventually arrived at another good hide Smile.

A TOP CACHE award, see http://www.amberel.com/topcache.htm for this super cache.

Thanks for the cache,

Rgds, Andy

Out caching for the day with Windrush Cache Hunter, finding both opencaches and geocaches. We crossed the river and climbed up the quite steep slope to this cache.

Thanks for the interesting story behind this place. The cache was found in good shape.

Joint FTF with the Hamian Explorers, a short sharp climb up from the river and the cache was ours, many thanks for the history and the cache.
