- Found it
Logging on 4th Jan 2010, having found the cache on 8th Sept. 2009 while it was a TerraCache. This is a copy of my TerraCache log:
Yet again, as I set off at 04:30 for a 2 day caching trip on my motor-bike, I find the weather is less than clement. This morning I find myself enveloped in a very wet mist, and I would end up spending the whole day in mist and cloud. It rarely rained more than the very finest drizzle, but this drizzle didn't let up even for a minute, and the whole world was saturated by it.
As I got to Exeter this occasioned a change of plan. I had intended to cross the middle of Dartmoor today, climbing several tors, and return by a more southerly route through Buckfastleigh and Staverton tomorrow. But one reason for climbing the tors is for the views, and in this cloud I wouldn't see a thing. The forecast for tomorrow is better, so I swapped the days over.
On the revised itinerary, this cache was my first. As mentioned above, it wasn't really raining, but it certainly wasn't not raining either, and the path up the hill was wet and slippery. It was also slightly overgrown, and the slightest brush with any vegetation resulted in a shower of raindrops from the sodden trees and bushes. It didn't take to long to spot the cache, but it suffered from the same problem; tucked away behind a tree, in a slightly awkward to reach spot, where the tree dumped its watery contents all over me whenever I tried to get close enough to reach 
.
This would have been so much nicer in the dry, though of course that's not in any way a criticism of the cache, it's just our British weather.
Thanks for the cache,
Rgds, Andy
