Geocache and Earthcache at Helman Tor

We went  geocaching at Helman Tor this morning. It is an amazing granite formation set in a nature reserve. It also has the remains of a Neolithic hill settlement and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.


Words don't do the site justice so here are the photos...but guess who forgot to take their camera... so these are all taken on my mobile phone

 The prevailing wind direction is quite obvious- just look at this tree...

You can see all around from the top of the Tor

At the summit...

Just had confirmation that we also got the Logan Stone Earthcache at the Tor. Really happy!!!!! 

Our first Earthcache! We had to answer three questions and post a photo. We did find the final question tricky as we had to give the amount of movement of the Logan stone and none of us would climb on it because it was so windy- not even Tom who climbs like he is half mountain goat usually! But we worked it out in the end...


Helman Tor is a spectacular place, with amazing views all around- definitely the best geocache we've done so far!


Until next time
