After diverting from the lower cache to do some GS caches and letterboxes around Black Tor and it’s Falls below, this was another quick find with the excellent spoilers, on this breezy warm sunny day! Now off to Clazywell Pool and Cramber Down!!

I walked up to this one from the aqueduct cache whilst doing the nearby Adventure Lab. This was found fairly quickly but the cache was very wet and the logbook not signable. I took the liberty of replacing the logbook with a new one inside a film pot inside the cache, so hopefully it will remain dry. I got 50m on up the leat when I realised that although I had replaced the logbook I hadn't signed it, so I had to go back to do so! Many thanks for the cache.

I found this cache on a circular walk taking in Sharpitor, Leather Tor Farm and Crazywell Pool. The hide was further up the hill than suggested by my GPS but the spoiler photo came in handy - I would not have searched so far in to the hiding place. As others have pointed out the logbook is soaked. I added ED to the paper but given everything was disintegrating I didn't want to be more heavy handed
TFTC, this one needs some TLC

Came along to this one after the nearby GC cache and like that one this was not too difficult to find. My GPSr was reading 0ft when I was signing this log, it's not often you see that.
The leat was very exciting today after the heavy rain. It was crashing down Raddick Hill and looked and sounded so good. Amazingly, once it crossed the aquaduct and went round the corner, it fell silent again.

The route I took here, from the "Not Mush-Room in a Micro" Groundspeak cache, was very far from ideal, a steep, difficult climb through thick gorse. I see now that it would have been much easier to have missed out the mush-room cache and followed the leat up here from the Lesser Known Aqueduct.
I searched for a while without success, but noticed from my Oregon listing that there might be a spoiler. Trouble was, I had no mobile phone signal up here.
Then GeoSphere came to the rescue . I've not used it before, but before I left home I loaded up the caches, and it held an offline copy of the spoiler . This showed I had been looking in just the right place, and one more grope got me there .
Thanks for the cache,
Rgds, Andy
