Geocache Description:


I love caching for many reasons, but walking in the countryside with scenic views is reason enough for me. 

This cache is placed on an elevated ridge between Mamhead and Dawlish, and affords stunning views. But you'll need a significant hike to reach it.

To claim this challenge you have found:-
100 caches with both the positive attributes "Significant hike" and "Scenic view". This is quite a hard challenge, so it has a high D/T rating. There are 417 caches in Southwest England that meet the criteria.

There are no time requirements, so past and future cache finds count.
There are no cache requirements, caches can be any type, in any country.

Check whether you have achieved this challenge by using this challenge checker.

PGC Checker

If you have not yet completed the challenge please find the cache, sign the log and post a "write note" on the cache page to say you have done so. Then, once you have completed the challenge, add your "found it" log on the date of completion. If your log can include the date you originally signed the log, so much the better. Please don't edit your original note to a "found it".

(Tip for inexperienced cachers. If you haven't acheived the challenge criteria, save this cache in a personal list with a meaningful name, and check from time to time if you have reached the stage you can record "found it".)

As of December 2020 I have achieved this challenge, having found 107 caches with both the significant hike and scenic view attributes. 49 of these have been in the UK.
