Geocache Description:

The end point of the trail (or the start if attempted the other way round)

This is one of a set of 4 caches (3 micros and a small standard cache) that CAN be treated separately but were placed to take the seeker on a shortish circular walk (just under 2 miles)around an area of watermeadows known locally as Otterspool.

It is conveniently located close to Junction 5 on the M1. I suggest parking on a small service road running alongside the main A41 close to the main gates to Munden House at N 51° 40.539 W 0° 22.664. While attempting these caches there are a couple of others within very easy walking distance i.e. Hornet's Hide 13 - (Munden View) and Hornet's Hide 7 - Fox's Burrow

If you are coming from #3 in the series you should continue walking past #3 for a few yards when you will meet a small lane which will take to to the right spot. No more mud or nettles if you follow this route!

The cache is a black APS film container and can be found just above ground level. It contains a small log, but please bring your own pencil.

If you have completed the trail continue past the cottage and out onto the main road. Turn right and it's a short stroll back to the start.
