- Found it
It was only when I went through the gate at the top that I realised I had been here before. Checking back, I see the cache I did up here was "The Beacon" also by Gribben. As with the rest today, the cache was not too difficult to find but the hard work really started from this point.
I had planned the route for today taking into account open Access land and footpaths. From here I headed down OA land to a footpath near Trezelland but when I got to a field corner it was obvious the landowner had bloked access big time. I found a way over but had to deal with two more blockages so I thought maybe the OS map may have been out of date. Checking with Cornwall CC rights of way I found out the path is supposed to be there so yet again I have reported a footpath on Bodmin Moor. Why are local landowners so anti walker?
Despite the hiccup at the end, I enyoyed the circuit around this part of the moor today. The views are stunning at times and visiting Brown Willy again was worth the acheing legs and wet feet.
