After finding Lowe Hill on the Warpers Trail all that was left to do was to complete the Turton Section between Turton Towers and Tookholes. I had arranged to do this with The Syllogiser before going to The Midsummer Nights Event. We arranged to meets at Dimple Lane where we would leave one car and then take the other over to Turton Tower and walk back over the moor to Dimple. We then collected the car from Turton Tower and returned to Dimple Lane and left it one there again and took the other to Crockfield Road Car Park to then walk the rest of The Turton Section back to Dimple Lane.
So the following caches were done in stage one:
The decision to complete this section from this side was so that the walk to the summit was done on the easier side as if you make your way up from Snake Nest then it's a lot steeper. There were a number of Army Cadet groups making there way up the hill and The Syllogiser was having a natter with there CO's as I made my way along the trail and he was catching up while I was signing the logs of the caches. The only cache that Don needed to find on this section was The curry cache. All the cache were an easy find in a round about way expect for the Snakes Nest which could have been a long search or even a DNF if it hadn't been for Don giving me a huge hint.
After repositioning the cars it was now for the second stage of this section. The caches on this were:
This section was a more pleasant walk with the most of it being flat with only small uphill sections. Just as I was replacing Mound for Hounds 3 people approached. They included Ian4724 and Caching Quick. They told us that they couldn't find Dragon Quest 6 and also Don't tell the council. I wasn't to bothered about DQ6 but if I couldn't find Don't tell the council then it would mean that I was one short of completing the whole series and would have to return. On arriving at DTTC the hint was read and it took some time to figure out what it was all about but once you do the cache is a quick find. The Syllogiser found the cache and tried to hide on the other side of the wall to sign the log and was hoping to put the cache back before I saw him with it but that plan didn't work. So after a good days caching and the with DImple in my hand it was the end of the LEGEND series for me.
Some figures from Geocaching By LEGEND website
Caches found on the series - 155
Caching trips to complete the series - 7
Number of days elapsed from start to finish - 117
Which gives me an average of 1.3 caches a day.
