Geocache Description:

This is number 20 (the final cache) 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 contains 20 caches. This one has been moved but not too far from the original site so no need for a coord change. In keeping with the D/T rating we have hidden this in ivy covered tree. To keep this rating please be careful to replace as found otherwise it becomes too easy. Good luck as usual and hope you find it. 


 
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 it looks like Roaming JAH has yet again come up trumps and without the need for the revised coords. Well done on another difficult FTF.
