Geocache Description:


Please ensure the cache is replaced carefully so that it is hidden from sight of passing muggles. Thank you. 

The beautiful river Dart is below you as it flows towards Totnes then on to Datmouth & out to sea. It rises high on Dartmoor & flows for 75km. Its name is an old Celtic word meaning 'river where the oak trees grow'. This part of the river is popular with kayakers & canoeists but it can rise very quickly flowing heavy rainfall on Dartmoor, creating rapids & powerful currents, thus giving rise to the rhyme: 

"River of Dart, oh river of Dart!

Every year thou claimest a heart."
