Another
cache on the John_Musgrave_Heritage_Trail - this time on the section
to the north of Cockington. This valley (which appears to be
un-named on the OS map but if it isn't called Cockington Valley it
ought to be) stretches from the village of Cockington almost to the
Torbay Ring Road (A380) - a distance close to a
mile.
The cache is a 900ml Click-n-Lock style camouflaged container
hidden a few feet from the
footpath.
Suggested route - Park at N 50° 28.222 W 003° 33.726 ... head
north-west along Nut Bush Lane
to N 50° 28.302 W 003° 33.827 and
turn left on to the footpath, from this point the valley will
become visible and although there are a few twists and turns along
this path generally you can trust your GPSr arrow to lead you to
the cache. Once the cache has been found, you could re-trace your
steps back to the parking area, but for a little variety try the
route south-east (towards Cockington) until you reach the road,
turn left uphill, and arriving at the parking
area.
Two notes on the cache attributes
-
1. You will note that I have set the attribute for "Not
recommended at night" - there is no reason to suppose that the
cache shouldn't be attempted at night - but you'll miss the
view.
2. I tried to find the attribute for "muddy path" - Wellies, or
well waxed walking boots are the order of the day, certainly at the
time of hiding.
The usual range of geoswag has been hidden in the cache along
with the obvious logbook, pen,
etc.
