It's several years since we were last here visiting some of the Groundspeak-listed caches in the area. The climb seems to have got steeper since then
. Once on the top we had a pleasant stroll passing some rocks which, when they moved, revealed themselves as sheep.
We're willing to bet that this cache was placed in the winter, or at least not in high summer. The vegetation is such that we couldn't see anything described in the hint and only by hacking through the undergrowth did we find something that looked like it might hide a cache. It didn't, but a lot more hacking eventually revealed something that did. Unlike Andy we found the coords to be quite good - it was just getting to them that was difficult.
We do agree with Andy on the logging requirement. Despite what it says on the cache page we saw few red kites here today. In fact, we saw more, closer to us, on the drive here than we did on the walk. The route is under heavy tree cover for most of it and only in the short stretch across the sheep field is there an unrestricted view of the sky. We waited here for a long time - longer than it took to find the cache - in the hope of seeing kites and the resulting photos prove that we did. The best of them is, as required, attached but we won't pretend that taking it added to our enjoyment of what is otherwise an excellent though tiring cache.
Thanks for the cache.
