Geocache Description:



This Cache is the 5th of 7 and can be combined with the caches below to make a circular route around the southern flank of Stonebarrow and Chardown Hills taking in a short section of the South West Coast Path. See: Westhay Wander - 1 (GC7RMMA) for full details about parking and the route..


Nearby there is a monument to Robert Henry Hildyard (1836 - 1876) who was the Lord of the Manor of Catherston Lewesdon. The monument, erected in 1877 by his friends, marks the spot where he fell while out hunting. Local legend attributes his death to the shock he experienced when he thought that he had accidentally shot one of his hunting companions. A good story? He did die of a heart attack but the coroner’s report simply attributes the death to heart disease.

This cache combines with the caches below to make a circular route. The complete walk is about 4 miles (7Km), includes one steep descent and finishes on a steady climb up from Westhay to Cain’s Folly. Geodogs are welcome but please keep them under close control as you may encounter grazing animals, ground nesting birds or other fauna.

Note: The difficulty for each of the caches is on an individual basis. The Terrain takes into account the whole route and all caches involved. In winter sections of the route can be muddy, especially in gateways. You will need a pen for the micro-caches and to find the bonus you will need to collect the clues along the way, don’t worry there is a decode sheet in Westhay Wander – 6 (GC7RMP7). The clues are pictograms so unless you have a photographic memory you will need a way to record them as you find them.

The cache is a bison type micro, it's tethered to keep it off the ground and getting wet, please ensure you have a pen or pencil.
