Yukonhuskies: I no longer have the time to spend on Geocaching and I certainly do not have the patience to deal with an ever increasing number of snowflakes.

Thank you to all the people who have genuinely found my caches over the years.

The cache is NOT at the posted co ordinates.

Stage 1: Use your OL28 1:25000 map

At the Ringmoor Down triangulation point, head toward the fence and cross at the style, passing the tor and head downhill where you follow the track toward a parking spot. From the parking, you cross a small bridge next to a ford and pick up a track leading uphill. You continue on this track, passing the high point and gradually lose altitude before another gentle climb uphill. You spot a tarmac road and follow it toward a building. The road ends and you're back on a track. Within 500m, you encounter a boggy river crossing where you decide to walk to the highest point approximately 1.5km away. Which OS grid square are you now in? Grid = ABCD

Stage 2: Visit the trig point and obtain the four digit number from the base plate. Trig No = EFGH
