Geocache Description:

This is number 2 of a series ring that will take you on a round trip (figure of 8 to be precise) of a little over 5 miles and will contain 20 caches. This cache is a small cache hidden in a bush and should not be too difficult to find. The path leading down to this cache is pretty well overgrown with vegetation and it is difficult to negotiate with your cycle - best to hot foot it down this steep path. Hopefully it will be cleared some time but the view is well worth the walk. 


The Hogs Back Reservoir lies just off 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 a few fellow cachers did get a chance for FTF. 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. 

Well done to hofficoffi for First To Find
