Found by prmid on the top of cairn. Not a geocache?
Very wet needs maintenance.

29/10/10
Well, they describe this walk as moderate. Hmmmm. We beg to differ. Well worth it though. Stunning views and most exciting to find this box. Back home to Nottingham tomorrow. What a great week we’ve had. Hello to all that read this.

Lovely day, lovely views.

Up here yesterday, returned today to try to sort out the confusion. Today found the ammo box within 10 feet of yesterday's tupperware. As the cache owner suggested that was an old summit log & box, dating Aug 08 to Jan 09 (book 8). Unfortunately during 2010 5 geocaches (inc myself) signed it thinking they had the real cache box. I will e-mail them when I get home with the bad news. I moved the contents into the ammo box. I shall post the logbook to the rightful owner when back in Leeds.

Why is there rubbish in the treasure box. Very windy and the tarn is pretty. Do not walk any further because the next tarn is a waste of time. Do not eat the crisps they are stale. Rubbish treasure box. Why is the book pink. Rains all the time.

Good morning! I am walking Eric Robson’s Other Wainwright’s route in stages and thought this was an easy leg. Am in the process of revision but thinking about some other parts of the walk it’s not bad – it’s the 66-year-old legs & lungs wot does it!
Brilliant idea , this box – is it an official geocache? I have several caching nuts among my friends.
Anyway, the sun is shining and my dog Rosie is ready for more.
All the best to all!

Add Jordan Renton on Facebook if you found the box too.
Happy Days
Peace!!

Family came back from Beacon Fell raving about the treasure box they found and how they want to re-supply it. 08/01/10
Dragged off the settee kicking and screaming to bring 3 Kendal mint cakes and 2 chocolate rodeaos for our 4 legged friends. After all the fudd, Jordan and Kelsey wouldn’t get up, left to me and Tracy and Polly. Fantastic idea with fantastic views. Long may it carry on. Sorry about the spelling and hand writing. Lack of oxygen.

After the fuss that John and Tracy made about us not coming back up, we decided to prove a point. Thought you might like to know

Hello to Pam, Laura, Ian and Maggie from Dalton-in-Furness. Sorry to have just missed you all. Think I must have been your wild swimmer in Beacon Tarn – water water-lilies gorgeous! Swam for about 25 mins. A noisy ground (crowd?) came and set up home so it was a quick lunch and get dressed to find peace & quiet on Beacon Fell and this wonderful little log book. Views great if rather hazy. A cool breeze.
The Hawthorn trees are in full blossom and really standing out in the landscape. Perhaps we’ll all meet up at Beacon Tarn – or on the fells – keep happy, have fun, enjoy the views

PS Cuckoos calling all around me. Thanks for sweets – much enjoyed!

Glorious day, wonderful views, my favourite tarn. This is the life!
Unfortunately going back down now. – Bit different to last time we were here – March 09 – when we got lost in a snowstorm.

Deb & Steve from Dalton0in-Furness. Warm day, hardly a breeze. Higher fells in cloud. It’s wonderful up here, peaceful today with the cuckoo calling – we love it, last time we were here the Beacon was frozen solid!

We seemd to get the best of the day. Sunny with glorious views all around – my favourite spot!
Took dog biscuit – will replace with more on our return in 2 weeks! Love the idea of the box!!

Hi Lynz, Paul, Carter, Alva and Toby the dog here. 16th May 2010-09-05
Great day for the walk. May need a coffin to take us back down, think those lucozade tablets will come in handy. View is lovely!!!
Have left some lovely crisps in box. So enjoy. Sorry have ate them! Left dry & salted peanuts instead. Xxx
PS We took the Toby dog for this lovely walk as he is getting his privates cut off on Thurday.

Stephen and Pam Turner finished up to Beacon Fell for “The Best of the Rest” as part of the 2010 “Wainwight Challenge” where members of The Wainwright Society climb all the “Outlying Fells” this week.

Thursday 20th May 2010 1500 hrs
Walking today to raise money for “Fix the Fells” via the Wainwright Society.
My goal was Blawith Knott, which I completed earler. Weather was poor from 1000 hrs. It’s warm now but overcast. Dow Crag, Coniston Old Man and Wetherlam are in cloud.

Friday 21 May 2010-09-05 Great idea to have this log book. Good walk up & weather brill. Wondered what the box was at first! ?Pandora’s box!! Had nothing to leave but managed to find a couple of tea bags (unused) – you only need the hot water!!

At first we thought the box was full of treasure but we found this book instead. We had a lovely walk. I paddles in the tarn. Kept hearing a cuckoo.

What a fab surprise. Views absolutely gorgeous, can see 360o as far as the eye can see, warm air and sunshine, Lakes are stunning. Tempted to leave our sheeps skull in box to weird people out, but left bag of crisps instead (also enjoyed chewy sweet). Lots of other folk arriving now.
Bye!

Just been up to the tarn to stop the oil leak, couldn’t find it and it didn’t seem too bad.

No change in the weather, so we thought we’d do an easy walk around Blawith Common! Beacon Fell came as a surprise, then we found the Mars bars. It just doesn’t get any better.

A bit scared to open the box! Wondered if it was someone’s ASHES. What a surprise. 2 Mars bars left – didn’t eat anything & my dog is at home so didn’t beed the dog biscs. What a fabulous place. Where in the world could be better? Sorry nothing to leave.

Fantastic views as always. It may be grey, it may be a bit wet, but it is always glorious to be out on the fells. Long may book #12 stay in place.
