2015 Six Tors Challenge - Huccaby Quarry Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dartmoor Dave: When I last checked on this cache in 2020 I wrote this in my log "I have to admit it is not easy to get to this cache from almost any direction because of the huge growth in gorse which has occurred since I placed the cache." I had expected it to be unreachable today, but I think there had been a big gorse fire here a couple of years ago and it wasn't too bad to descend to the quarry from the tor. However, there are signs of the gorse growing back quickly and it is almost 2 years since this cache has been attempted. Having already removed the feeder cache at the tor I removed this one also. When these 2 caches were placed in 2015 they were almost meant as cache and dashes to be found along with visits to 5 other tors before attending the New Years Day event. I don't think that would work these days - very sad indeed.
