Geocache Description:

The cache is in an enclosed part of Epping Forest, which can be particularly muddy. Parking is about 200 yards North of the cache site.

This cache is on Chris n Marias London Geocaching Tube Map
The cache has recently been replaced - with slightly different co-ords.......

The area is enclosed due to some free-roaming English Longhorn cattle. They are part of a re-introduction scheme and used as lawn mowers. The cows generally ignore walkers, cyclists and horseriders, but dogs should be kept on their lead.

Yep - very long horns!
