Geocache Description:



DUE TO THE LACK OF INTEREST IN TACKLING THIS CHALLENGE AS A WHOLE AND THE DIFFICULTY OF MAINTENANCE IT WILL NOT BE MAINTAINED AS A SERIES AFTER EASTER 2023. AFTER THIS DATE THE VOWELS AND BONUS ARE LIKELY TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE. IF YOU ARE ATTEMPTING THE SERIES AND GETTING CLOSE TO COMPLETION AT THAT TIME LET ME KNOW AND I'LL LEAVE A CACHE IN PLACE FOR YOU BUT ASK THAT YOU TO REMOVE IT WHEN YOU VISIT. .

This is Alphabet Challenge D, a small beige tupperware container hidden in the part of Dartmoor called Dicks Well.

This cache is outside of the designated Firing Ranges.

The Alphabet Challenge consists of 25 caches plus the bonus (Z). There are 5 individual series consisting of 4 consonants giving information for the vowel in each group.

 The order of caches to find,

A needs B,C,D,F

E needs G,H,J,K

I needs L,M,N,P

O needs Q,R,S,T

U needs V,W,X,Y

Z needs A,E,I,O,U

. There is NO mobile signal in a large part of Dartmoor, you need to bear this in mind in case of emergencies.

The GPS signal at the cache site should not present a problem.

You will need to take a pencil/pen for the log.

Parking is available for 25+ cars behind The Dartmoor Inn off the A386.

Take the track to the side of the Inn and through the gate at the end.

Once through the gate take the right hand track to the parking area.
