Geocache Description:

I have been finding caches for a couple of months now, so it's time for me to start hiding them as well. After spending far too much time dreaming up the most elaborate cache setups over the past few weeks, I've decided to get the ball rolling with something more managable (and far more realistic) in the form of this relatively basic cache.

Although there are plenty of big tracks to follow, this cache is not really a search for big tracks as such. I've given the cache that subtitle because there is a message contained within those four words. You don't need to solve it for this cache, it's more like an extension task for anyone with too much time on their hands. I'll warn you now though, it's not earth-shattering and you won't win anything for solving it. (HINT: I could've also called it "fast big rock search")

Oh yeah, the obligatory history lesson...

My father-in-law tells me that this "hill" was named after Reverend Bobby Knopwood. The subtitle for this cache probably should've been something like "where'd it go?" or "is missing", for reasons that will become clear if you continue up from the cache... just don't go too far!

I don't know the best way to get to the cache, but approaching from a roughly South West direction will keep you out of private property (and result in a moderately steep climb).

The cache is a small (1 litre) camo that initially contained: foam cube puzzle, spinning top with flashing lights, finger puppet monster, play-dough, and a couple of bouncy balls.
