An American TrailYanks on Dartmoor (6745 7850)From the Forestry Commission at Ephram’s Pinch walk on a bearing of 158 ° until you reach a track going in a westerly direction. Pass 3 Christmas trees as you go along this track and pass CB. On the left are 4 large trees in a line, continue to where a footpath crosses the bridle path. Gap in trees 010 °, Left hand gate post 250 °. Right hand edge of Soussons Warren 082 °. Box under 1ft x 2ft rock between 2 nd and 3 rd post. English Girl in New York (682 799)From the Forestry Commission sign board, walk down the track with Christmas trees on both sides. Go past the Charnock Memorial and past the yellow footpath on the left. Look for Soussons Farm on the right but follow the bridle path marked with a white circle to the left. As you continue forward look to your left for the gap in the trees and the ridge above but continue along your path until you reach some path junctions, the river and a signpost. Standing with your back to the signpost walk towards the tree that’s on a bearing of 169 °. When you reach this tree walk in the same direction past 5 more large trees. The box is hidden under a group of 3 small rocks. Go back to the gap in the trees where you can see the ridge to begin your next clue. Hampshire Hog (673 793)At the gap in the trees walk up towards the ridge with grass underfoot. When you reach the gravel path take the 2 nd track from the left and follow the white/red trail. When the path changes to grey go left but don’t miss the tree stump seat nearby. Take a seat here and observe the 3 fallen trees, the box is just 2 paces away.
