I'M WATCHING! Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Redroaming: Archiving this somewhat jinxed letterbox hybrid cache which seems to have vanished from its hiding place in one of the rarely visited areas of Dartmoor, although not necessarily a remote area. It has remained active for far longer than l had expected due to the number of DNFs but l was so hoping that it would be found by several Geocaching friends who would very much deserve such a find considering they have made the trek to gz and searched on several occasions, but alas not to be.
My apologies to the reviewers who eventually picked up the poor state of this cache, and my thanks for giving one more month just in case.... but the time has come for it to be deleted off the Geocaching map having been a “blott on the landsacape” for some time!

Geocache Description:

An easy stroll from Shilstone to start with but then it is a battle through gorse and paddle across boggy ground, so either choose another way to get to the cache or have suitable footwear!

This cache is sited in an SSSI but within the Dartmoor National Park Authority Geocaching Guidelines. This is a hybrid geocache so contains a stamp - so don’t forget to bring an inkpad and paper/card/book to take a copy. PLEASE NOTE HOWEVER THAT THE STAMP IS NOT TO BE REMOVED.
THERE IS NO PEN/CIL IN THE CACHE = NO LOG = NO SMILEY!!
EXTRA HINT - from memory - I was standing facing approx west [with Shilstone Tor behind me], there was one tree to my left and another tree to my right. The cache is in a "cave" under the propped-up roundish flat rock. Albert and Victoria have kindly passed on that the cache is approx 8p from an apple press, and there are 2 trees both approx 20p from the cache.

1.2.17 - I have raised the difficulty level up to 3.5 [from 3] due to amount of rocks the cache could be under!
