Geocache Description:

This cache is located on open moorland more than an hours walk from any road. Please ensure that you wear adequate clothing and footwear and take necessary wet weather clothing in event of quick weather change - notoriously common on Dartmoor.

Cache is medium sized pill pot and contains a few small goodies for exchange, log book and pencil.

It is located in an area of pits, mounds and gullies known as Nakers Hill Tin mine in one of the remotest areas of Southern Dartmoor. (This is not a dangerous place with no open shafts or steep sided gullies)though there are numerous flooded small costean pits.

The cache is located on the south side of one of these pits very near to the actual summit of Nakers Hill. It is stood upright in a small hole in the ground covered with a small flat rock on top to protect and dead vegetation on top of that to prevent accidental finding by letterboxers.

(There are numerous Dartmoor letterboxes in this area in rabbit holes in the sides of the pits and mounds so take an inkpad and cards for stamping if you would like to collect any of these you accidentily find as, I am sure you may in the search for this cache. I found at least seven whilst trying to find suitable hole for cache.

This cache is designed to be challenging to find and challenging to walk out to.

Please carefully replace as you found to prevent waterlogging and accidental finding, Thanks
