- Found it
Oh sweet! What an adventure I had here!! Mentioned on my previous log that I don't really prepare with OC's and don't see any reason to change that it's a good way to play differently over here. And so the direction of "head up the wooden steps" would have made this one a lot easier and less fun! So I followed the track from the end of the viaduct into the mud, then dropped down off the trail and onto a vague track finally meeting up with the footpath - I only had the co-ords and the hint - but the GPSr shows the footpaths at least. So I approached this one from the "wrong" direction and climbed up - at the top after I resisted the urge to have a go on the tyre swing I found what I was sure was the hint item, in fact it was just a plank nailed to the top rock! I can't honestly say I've ever found a Gribben cache that hasn't been bang on with it's co-ords, so I slowly climbed down, I guess over the back cushion, along the arm and finally down onto the front room floor - but in so doing to spotted an obvious placed rock, on further inspection lurking behind was hot chocolate container with a Geocache sticker on the outside, the cache was named "Variation 3" not one that I recognise, I wonder if anyone else would? It's a nice spot!! Anyway, after that I spotted a location that matched the hint and did as I was requested - a pair of muddy knees later and I had the really good sized cache out and was logging. I made my exit via a much easier route. Another cracker, and well worth the effort getting here, thanks for this one!
