Geocache Description:

One of a pair of letterbox hybrids placed on Dartmoor. This one has been hidden on Bench Tor with my daughter. The views from GZ are wonderful, and the area nearby makes a lovely sheltered spot for a picnic.

You are looking for a small camo'd klip-lock box, large enough for swaps and most trackables. The cache is child friendly but well hidden, so a grown up might need to lend a hand or a torch!

Elsa will show you where to look .

The initial contents include a few child friendly swaps, a stamp and a small gold ink pad. Don't forget to take some paper to take a copy. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMP FROM THE CACHE. There is no pen/cil in the cache so please take your own.

At the time of placing there were only a couple of nearby caches. One has since been archived but the other, Bench Tor Revived, is still going strong. There is also another letterbox The Secret Waterfall a bit further away but worth the walk, and Holne Hike series by Dartmoor Dave that passes very close to this one. You may also like to visit the related letterbox, Marshmallow, on Rippon Tor if you are over that way.

My thanks to Redroaming without whom it would not have been possible to place these caches. She has very kindly agreed to keep an eye on them in my absence.

Congratulations go to dartmoor strider for being FTF.
