Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of caches on a walk of around 4 miles in the Rippon Tor area. Most of the walk is on moorland path/track and a little alongside the road. Please use the clearer paths rather than cutting across the gorse and bracken.


Please be aware of livestock.


From the last cache follow the path alongside the wall.


At this point you could make a quick diversion and find Marshmallow (GC55XDQ) near Nutcracker Rock.

There are great views from here and you can see the Rippon Tor Rifle Range over the wall and the top of the trig point at the top of Rippon Tor.


The cache is NOT in the wall.


Please replace in its correct position.Thank you.


The weather on Dartmoor can change suddenly and unexpectedly and ALL types of weather conditions can be experienced. Please ensure that you have the correct clothing and map and compass (and know how to use them). Please do NOT rely solely on your GPS.


I would like to thank the Dartmoor National Park Authority for their kind permission to place this cache, which has been placed according to their geocaching guidelines.
