Geocache Description:

This is the first of a series ring that will take you a little over 5 miles and will contain 20 caches. This cache is placed next to a narrow path that runs down the hill towards #2. It can be slippery in the rain and does get a wee bit overgrown - so be careful. I have also placed an alternative cache for when the path becomes too difficult to walk down. Use the parallel path down the edge of the field and search when you get in line with the original cache - look low, hanging.

The Hogs Back Reservoir lies just of the main track, once the main road from Guildford, that leads to the first cache in this series. The four transmission masts mark the location of the reservoir.

Apparently there are a number of Hogs Back Reservoirs including one in Australia and one in the States. However I'm sure none of them were Dr Who locations for filming the TV series in the early days. 

The rest of the series have now all been placed and is complete and glad to say that that a few fellow cachers did get a chance for their FTFs. These caches have been around for some time now and we have had mainly good logs but there have been some really bad ones as well. Please note that not all the caches will be easy to find and I would urge you to look at their rating to determine which are the difficult ones. Please feel free to skip the high rating caches if they are not to your liking, remember they are not meant to be found easily. Enjoy the hunt and the walk, including that steep hill at the end.

Happy Hunting.

Congratulations to hofficoffi for First To Find
