A year and a fortnight ago I did this cache as a TerraCache, and today I returned to log it again as an OpenCache. I've done a lot of caches today, and didn't arrive here until fairly late in the evening. But I kept the best until last - this was clearly the most enjoyable of the day.

Fortunately I had kept the co-ordinates of the final location, so I didn't need to visit the trig point. Despite Roderick's note, there is a definite problem with doing this cache during the growing season. When I was there last year the crops entirely encircled the trig point. There was no path to it, nor, I think, is there any right of way. The shortest route through the crops is over the fence. Going via the gate merely increases the distance.

I was rather amused by the parallel sticks log entry - it was dated 19/03/2012. Whenever I make a mistake with the year it's usually by putting the previous year, I don't think I've ever written next year, still less 2 years hence .

Quite apart from the fabulous views, this was an interesting walk in other ways. There was a chap with a couple of radio controlled slope soaring stunt gliders - one was in the air on my walk out, and the other was flying on my return. He was pretty good.

Then I disturbed a couple of lesbians in a passionate clinch - they appeared rather embarrassed, but maybe they shouldn't do it on a public footpath!

The forecast showers had held off all day. The first few drops of rain started to fall when I was just a couple of hundred metres from where I had parked the bike, and by the time I got back to the layby it was just about hard enough to begin to get a little uncomfortable. So perfect timing - with my bike gear on and heading for home a bit of rain wouldn't hurt at all.

Thanks again for a great cache,

We have known about this cache for ages but never got round to looking for it.  With the increase in the number of Open Caches we decided to hunt for OC as well as GC.  So despite the grotty weather I went out after work to hunt for the cache.  The drizzle and low cloud ment that I didn't see any of the views, but I have been to Watership Down several times before so knew what I was missing.  I was a little disappointed that I had to climb over a fence and walk through growing crops to get to the Trig Point.  I was surprised when I opened the Logbook to find it had been signed 3 times, when I was expecting to be a FTF.  I hadn't realised this was a Terracache as well, I made a note of the Terracache finders code. This code is also needed to log the cache on OpenCaching.  Back home I checked out Terracaching but decided it was all a bit too involved to log one cache.

Our first Open Cache was also a FTF which can't be bad.
