Visited this interesting location during a trip to see relatives who live on one of the nearby farms. E-mail forwarded, many thanks!

I found this cache back in February 2008 from the Geoocaching web site so it seems pointless revisiting it again, so I'll claim it as found.

I knew that The Hornet had a few caches in West Dorset and East Devon but I had missed this one, which seems strange as its closest to my current abode. Came here on Monday while chasing some other caches on GC.com and didn't realise that it was dual listed. Ah well that brings my Navicache total to 5 so must be time to start placing a few of my own, as our American friends might say; two of whom were taking pictures outside the cottage as I waited to find out the required info which has already been sent by my GC.com alter ego (thank's for doing that Jango).

Logging on Navicache in June 2009! Email was sent and acknowledged four years ago! We were passing through the area on the way to Devon. I haven't been here since a school day trip many years ago. It was a good excuse to give the NT cards an airing and we had a good look round. Many thanks for the cache!
