Geocache Description:

Nothing to swap, just a camera, a logbook. Nice and simple.

This cache is located almost on the boundry between Marsden Moor and Saddleworth Moor, it's just off the pennine way. There is a layby on the A640 where you can park the car, then follow the footpath for about half a mile, wehn you get near the cache you'll have to leave the footpath for a little while. The cache is at the bottom of the big long ledge of rocks, it's hiddn under a small pile of stones. Theres nothing to take except your picture, hopefully i'll be able to pot the pics online when the camera is full.

UPDATE 21/09/2020: I have replaced this cache more nearer the path, so you only need to stray a few metres off the path, where you should see the large hint item in front of you. Please therefore be mindful of passing walkers and cyclists. I have found the GPS to wander so coordinates are not deadly accurate, so hopefully the hint will lead you to the cache.

UPDATE 13/09/2022: Courtesy of some yobs, the hiding place and cache have been compromised, so thanks to Meltdiceburg, the cache location has changed to a ledge below the edge in the corner, so hopefully, it will be more secluded from view.
