Geocache Description:

A cache in memory of my Dad, on a circular walk around Farnhill Moor tops. This is the second part of a small trail of three in an area which is special to us.

The above coordinates are for the suggested parking.

The cache is located at North TE TT.RQQ and West PQ TO.WUU

You will need to solve this puzzle before setting out. The coordinates are not given in any of the other caches. If you need help, a hint is provided below.

The easiest way from the suggested parking area is to walk a few yards back up the hill and turn up the public footpath just next to the white cottage which takes you up past another house onto the moor. From here it is a gentle walk upwards onto the moor, but it can be and often is, very wet underfoot. Wellies or good boots in winter and be prepared for bracken in the summer.

After Bella's cache, once through the gate onto the moor, the best route for a circular walk is to take the path leading off to the right.

This area always reminded Dad of where he grew up in North- West Ireland. He used to tell me that they never had the weatherman on the farm when he was a lad, "We just looked up the hill, to the left and we could see what was coming and where we needed to go". Dad told me a lot of useful stuff and he's just told you where the cache is.
