- Found it
Many apologies for the extremely late log.
I originally looked at this cache quite a few years ago, when mulling over doing a Three Peaks walk. It was all the more interesting due to its unfound in nearly nine years and 5/5 status. More recently, as BradLad and I made plans to actually get around to it, I had a go at the puzzle. I got the idea quickly and I agree with the previous logger that there is a missing 7.
The cache location was nicely on our planned routes and was one of our main caching targets. After climbing Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside, we made the final, steep ascent of Ingleborough. We did a bit of cross country trekking via some other caches to get to GZ and I was a bit worried, as we approached, that after all these years, it might be gone. Instead, with the hint, we spotted the cache straight away. No surprise really that it was literally full off water in spite of (I think) being double boxed. We emptied it out, signed a fresh piece of paper and then did our best to reseal it in a way that might best protect it. Then it was up and off, back "home" to Horton in Ribblesdale. By the time we got back my GPSr registered 27.5 miles with 9 hours of walking plus 1.5 hours stood still- mostly signing one or other of our 15 caches for the day, of which this was one of the highlights.
Thanks for our 7th opencaching 5/5 and a First to Find. I hope it is less than nine years before it's found again. I hope to give this cache a sibling by setting a Webcam opencache for the Three Peaks walk (when I get round to it).

Got the numbers, just need to visit the site. More a D3
There seems to be a 7 missing on the third line from the bottom. Well I added one to make the answer work.
