Found yesterday with my partner fleeblewidget while on the way out for some dinner here. The hint gave away exactly what we were looking for, but a hint from a staff member stood on the other side of the road made it easier still! TFTC. (had a good dinner here, too!)

Found yesterday with fleeblewidget while on a walk between the main course and the dessert of our dinner. Nice spot for a cache!

Found it, after a little zig-zagging. As I set my GPSr to the next cache, an older couple who’d seen my tech and watched me weaving about asked if I was lost. I explained geocaching, and they were pretty interested, so I took then with me to the next cache as I explained the rules.

Easy find on a nice spot. SL, TNLN, TFTC.

After taking in the beautiful views at Baggy Point, headed back this way and found the cache. Coordinates seemed about 15m off, but the hint made it easy enough. Cache not watertight, log very damp; needs attention at earliest convenience. TFTC.
This checkin to GC3MRPC Chester's Chest 4 - Chirpy, chirpy Chesapeake reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.
Have been stood at/pacing around the published coordinates for a while with my GPSr (Garmin Montana 600, firmware checked last week, Chirp Searching set to “On”, but I’ve also tried toggling it), and I’m not finding a Chirp. Think this expedition might be a no-go. I’m going to be in the area for the next few minutes, so if the owner happens to be by their email within the next few minutes they’re welcome to send be a message via geocaching.com to let me know where the Chirp itself is hidden (if it’s not in the cache) and I can go check on it.

And that’s it! That’s me done for the day. What a delightful and carefully places series of caches. I really hope I get time to do the Southern Loop someday, too! But for now, it’s time to get back to the car (where I’ve stashed some now much-needed water) and then back to Croyde for a drink in the hot tub.
Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

Easy find, but then I went the wrong (long) way down the hill, taking the winding road rather than the footpath. Doh!

Took a little while to find this: perhaps my mind is elsewhere. Like… already thinking how nice it’ll be too get back to the place I’m staying and get into the hot tub!

Really nice to see the village in the distance where my car’s parked: it’s been quite an adventure, but I’m looking forward to watching the sun set with a glass of wine in my hand.

Found without difficulty (with the help of the hint). TFTC.

Beautiful spot! Sad to see the tennis court in the garden next door in such a state of disrepair, though.

After some really quite-overgrown paths (see photo), I was quite glad to get back onto a nice, hard road: far easier on my poor feet.

Lovely little lane. Found the cache, then hopped the brook and turned left to rejoin the trail.

An easy find at the start of this, the risk stretch of my expedition. I think I’ve sweated off all of my sunscreen, but the sun’s give behind some clouds so I think I’m okay.
