gandry: Yes I confirm reluctantly that the cache has diappeared, there has been a few trackables logged as missing from this cache so it has probably run its course, pity because the location and views are a bit special. sorry, gandry

Geocache Description:

Westward Ho! is famous for a few things, one is the fact that it is the only place in England which has an ! in its name, the others are its links with the authors Kingsley, of The Water Babies fame, and Kipling who wrote The Jungle Book.
This cache is located on the National Trust property known as KIPLING TORS which is the high cliff or ridge that overlooks the village and beach. The cache is placed with kind permission of the National Trust Warden.
The LOOKOUT is a wartime (WW1) observation post and there are tales locally of german submarines being observed and hunted within Bideford Bay, inshore of Lundy Island.
On a clear day the views of the whole of Bideford Bay from Hartland to Baggy Points and out to Lundy are not to be missed.
The LOOKOUT has recently been repaired by the NT and has a new roof and is internally rendered.
The NT hope to arrange for the inside to be painted with murals by local school children, at the moment it’s a blank canvas.
The access path to the LOOKOUT has been improved recently but is still a fairly stiff climb which will certainly give good cardio/vascular exercise.
The cache when placed contained the usual log and pencil with a few small items and a large busy bee finger puppet, it doesn’t sting!
