Here is an extract of my log from the Devils Gap Cache on Gibraltar.

It is one of my most memorable caches......... FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS.

OVERANOUT [8)]

 An easy find.
However, the walk back down towards Gibraltar town wasn't without incident.
We followed the road leading downhill and after a while and several zig-zags we found ourselves up against a fence preventing further access. We decided to persevere, and managed to squeeze between the railings and continued our descent. Eventually, we came across some steps which were well used and looked as though they led down to the nearby road. We began walking down the steps when suddenly, right in front of me (about two feet away) was an enormous snake about 7 feet long and 4 inches in diameter. It was coloured yellow and black in a zig-zag pattern. It looked at me and I quickly turned and ran back up the steps, pushing astra-nomical as I went. I looked back and saw it slithering away into the undergrowth.
After we regained our composure, and courage, we quickly walked down the steps and into what was a really nice garden. This was the garden of the big hotel and we must have looked odd, walking through the terrace dining room of the hotel with our rain ponchos on, while the guests were eating lunch.
We left by the hotel front door and got onto the street leading us down into town.
What an experience - talk about snakes and ladders, I nearly shook a 7.
