Geocache Description:

The above co-ords are a random place and the Cache is about a mile away. This is a nice easy walk approched from the right direction.
Parking is available near by.

On the stroke of midnight, Santa left his grotto with a sledge full of presents, his long journey started in the far North of Scotland delivering presents to all the children along the way. With good weather conditions he made good time and was soon in the North of England, moving swiftly from East to West in a southerly direction Santa soon found himself in the Midlands where the weather was changing for the worst, at first it was light rain but this was soon replaced by heavy rain and then thick fog.
As Santa left Dover in the far South East of England moving Westward towards Devon and Cornwall, Rudolf's nose was on the blink, this made his journey very difficult as he forgot to take his Tom Tom.

Just as Santa reached the border of Devon there was some severe turbulence and all the remaining presents became mixed up, as morning was fast approaching in his panic he left at Glen Mcniece's house in Exmouth a nail varnish set by mistake and at Keri Ann's house in Budleigh Salterton he left a Cowboys uniform. This was the same for Leah Gill in Tiverton she received a Creepy bug set. As Santa tried to move faster he made more mistakes like, Paul East in Crediton, Karl Jarvis in Barnstaple, David Long in Torrington , Philip Hunt in Okehampton, James Pink in Newton Abbot, Sophie Runner in Tavistock, Bryony Hill in Liskeard, Susan Peast in Camelford, Keith Wingnut in Bodmin, Norman Quite in Redruth and Janyne Allen in Falmouth.
By the time he reached the last child in the Isle of Scilly he was a present short, then he
remembered the very bad turbulence over Common Moor that turned his sledge up side down, this must have been the place he lost the present.

PS. Santa gave the child without a present his own Rolex watch.
