The cache is not hidden at the published
coordinates but is within one mile of them.
Dartmoor is littered
with ancient stone crosses.
On the Eastern side of the
B3212, Princetown to
Yelverton road, at a
junction with a
minor road from
Walkhampton Church
to Burrator Reservoir
sits one of these
crosses, set back from
the road and passed by
hundreds of people a
week without noticing it.
It was originally a
waymarker to Buckland
Abbey and possibly doubled as a
boundary stone for the Abbey lands. It is now showing signs of wear
and neglect with one of its arms having been knocked off, possibly
to allow it to have been used as a gatepost at one time. There is
still a gate hanger in place to show that it has been used for this
purpose.
To find the cache you must decipher the
coded message above. There is enough hidden information for you to
work out what the code is.
The cache is a half litre clip lock box with a log book, pencil and
a selection of trade items. There is room for small
TB's.
Happy hunting!
