Or a peat-bog. Yuck! :-)

Tried geocaching for a short while, but prefer letterboxing, or even
just walking on the moors. Was not impressed with some of the cache
locations, such a Leather Tor bridge (old stone bridge built in 1830's
along part of the Abbots' Way), which it was said could be driven to
with a 4x4. Totally irresponsible.
