+*mouse* Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hi billy - welcome to the game You're based in a great location being right on the edge of Dartmoor - some of my favourite caches are on the moor. You're spoilt for choice! Devon cachers are some of the friendliest I have met and there's a really strong caching community down there. If you ever interested in meeting up with some local cachers then you should keep an eye out for the Stop the Clocks meet at Princetown. It's not published yet, but is usually around about the time the clocks change. Quote Link to comment
