This checkin to GLB6RQ5F Dear Fred... reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Is this really the most-famous visitor to Jersey? Didn’t Queen Victoria come here? Arguments about relative fame and influence aside, fleeblewidget and I were able to do most of our research on the Internet, and got her mother to find the stone and extract the numerals as we walked nearby. fleeblewidget‘s mother didn’t feel up to the trek up to the cache, so she stayed behind. Not having a map, fleeblewidget and I weren’t able to pinpoint the cache location by any more than its direction and distance, and we took a wrong turning and looped around about twice the distance we meant to before we found the path upon which the cache resides. Found it quite easily on the way back, despite distraction from a pretty noisesome thrush, singing his little heart out up the tree above. Lovely place for a cache. Thanks!

Log’s looking a little damp; I should’a brought some silica gel.

Coming up having just found Not Much Room, we didn’t think to continue along the footpath and instead took the road, leading to a long double-back: whoops! Found the viewpoint easily (although recent tree growth has somewhat blocked the view), and – soon afterwards – the cache. Took a copy of the address of the Carstens in Nindorf to send them a postcard, and signed the log. TFTC.
