Geocache Description:

A family friendly series of 34 caches, plus 3 bonus caches, taking you on a circular hike of about 7 miles in length.  There are reasonable paths most of the way, although there are 2 much more difficult sections. Although I describe this as family friendly it is NOT suitable for buggies or for very young children. It is also very undulating with several climbs and descents.


Although only about 7 miles in length this is very much a full day's hike, although it is easy to split it into 2 (or more) easier chunks. It will take you through a wide variety of terrains and includes a wide variety of caches, including several novelty ones. All caches are placed "to be found" and hints are given where necessary.

For each bonus cache only four pieces of information are required and each is duplicated in a second cache. The calculations are very easy.

As it is a family friendly series there are several largish caches, so please do come with some decent swag to allow your children to trade. Most caches are large enough to allow trackables to be placed.

Follow the path to the right of the leat and continue until you see the waterfall. Please use the waypoints when leaving for, or coming from HH29.

There is a poor GPSr signal in these trees and in the gorge, please use the hint.

Please do NOT leave sweets in any cache.

Caches placed with the kind permission of the Dartmoor National Park Authority.
