Leying About At Slapton Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Graculus: The owner has not responded to emails or logs from people over the period of time this cache has had problems. Nor has the owner responded to my emails or log. I am therefore archiving the cache for lack of maintenenace. There have been offers to adopt the cache but without the owner agreeing to this it cannot be adopted to a new owner. However, now it is archived someone else can place a cache at the location (but please bear in mind it is a nature reserve and so permission will be required).

Regards

Geocache Description:

This is a shortish (1.5 mile) walk on a footpath at Slapton Ley Nature Reserve. The cache is then about 1 mile further away, outside the nature reserve.


The above coordinates are for a suggested (pay and display) parking spot. From here the clues take you along a footpath where you will need to answer the usual questions in order to get the final location of the cache.

The cache is located about 1 mile from the parking spot. There is a footpath behind the beach, or alternatively there is another car park closer to the cache itself. There is also a picnic area, but unfortunately dogs are not allowed there.
