Heads of the Rivers Trek - No 12
Maiden Hill
An easy walk up from Cowsic Head brings you
to the top of Maiden Hill. Look out for Beardown Man to your left
on the other side of the river valley. I could almost say "It's all
downhill from here", but I would be lying! Another difficult hide,
so another hint and spoiler.

The weather on Dartmoor can change
suddenly and unexpectedly and ALL types of weather conditions can
be experienced. Please ensure that you have the correct clothing
and map & compass (and know how to use them). Please do NOT
rely solely on your GPS.
Each cache has been rated individually up to a maximum terrain
rating of 4.5. (You won't need to scuba dive, rock climb, kayak or
swim! But DO keep an eye out for Dartmoor's bogs 
)
I would like to thank the Dartmoor National Park Authority for
their kind permission to allow me to place this series of
caches.
