Parked at the bottom of the hill, walked up the hill, found cache, took photo, walked back down the hill!

I popped out to Minions to get the lab caches and grab a couple of other caches which I hadn't picked up on previous visits.

I spotted a possible hide at GZ and quickly found the cache

This was our last opencache of the day on a fairly difficult walk of at least 8 miles starting at Sharptor, looping north to Twelve Men's Moor and west to Newel Tor. As always with a Gtribben cache you are anticipating a well presented cache in a great location and you are rarely disappointed. This cache certainly lived up to our expectations so many thanks for placing. Not a huge distance now to get back to the car, but I need to avenge a previous DNF on a cache that was missing last time I visited.

The last of our opencaching for today.  A long walk, a long day, but very enjoyable.  I think both of us were getting rather tired by then, not quite sure how far we walked, but it must have been 8 miles, plus, probably nearer 9.  Cache quickly found.  What a great hill fort area, two massive walled areas, one around the higher hill (The Cheesewring) and one on the lower hill.

A day of letterbox checking and caching with Dave.johnson over this S.E portion of Bodmin Moor. A gusty day of clear skies and heavy squally downpours, which we done very well hiding behind outcrops when the downpours swept over. This cache was a straight forward find with the hint, because with most places here abouts, there's a million hide holes available!! A few moments earlier, we re-found a letterbox that the last visitor was in 1997!! Amazing!

Out with "The Wanderer" letterboxing and caching on a great planned circular route.. This cache was of the "normal high standard" that the CO always presents us with.. Thanks for another GREAT CACHE.

The hint might have been interpreted to fit several items, but it didn't take long to find the right one . And when I took it out and opened it, it was almost a shock - despite being on the top of a windswept hill for over 5 years, both the outer and inner containers, and the contents, were all as spotlessly clean as if it had been placed there 5 minutes before my visit. Once again it demonstrates what happens if the very best quality containers are used, and if the finders all take care to keep the cache clean and dry.

A great location with an immense vista spread out below,

A great cache in every way, thanks for the cache,

Rgds, Andy

I was Meandering the Minions and took the opportunity to climb the hill to collect this one as well. Took a short while to locate the container after searching several similar looking hides!! A glorious view, and time for a short coffee break Cheers,

Came to gind this cache whilst walking along the disused railway to the East of Stoiwes Hill and afterwards continued to the top of the hill to explore the features including the famous 'Cheesewring' tor.

A great quality cache again.  Thank you for placing it.

It was Mr and Mrs R's wedding anniversary today, so we thought we'd spend the day caching in the Minions area despite the thick mist.

Due to our route finding other caches, we took a bit of an unusual route up the East side of the hill to here. pushing through wet bracken. Still, the views would have been worth it on a nicer day. Never mind, we've both been here plenty of times before.

The cache was quickly found by Mrs R, with the aid of the spoiler. Contents were found to be in good order and the log was signed.

We've now got the challenge of finding our way down the West side of the hill with about 10 yards visiblity.

Thanks for a good cache in a lovely spot.

An excellent find and this is logged as our first cache with opencaching. So this is a special one after attending a nearby event - munching at Minions. We will now keep an eye out for more. TFTC

Another great cache in a great spot. First to find !!

Out with a group of 12 doing some geocaching on the Moors. Very windy today. Also joining us was the cache owner Gribben, but I can safely sound I found this one with no help. Claasic geocache hide under a rock (where else up here!)

Unable to capture Munzee as no blinking phone signal on my O2 iphone!!

Will have to return on another network.

Thanks for the cache
