Geocache Description:

We gave it this name as it was hidden by my son Bill, often referred to as Bilbo Baggins. The original was hidden in a Hobbit Hole but was muggled twice. This was driving us NUTS so we relocated and used a different type of cache, a small acorn in the hope it would last a bit longer. Unfortunately after the parks departments latest rampage the acorn had gone. We have hidden another container, not quite as small and no longer an acorn but still no room for swaps.

One in a series of caches set along a route we use when walking from Oakworth to Haworth. They can be done as individual drive-bys, as a circular / figure of 8 walk or you could pick them up on your way to Haworth and get the train back. The full route is just over 3 miles.

If you are doing the walk you can park at Oakworth Station on the Worth Valley Railway, N53 50.477 W1 56.542

It’s in the heart of Haworth Park which is full of Muggles and very busy. Please be careful where you tread so we don’t give it away and make sure it’s put back as found so its not visible by passing muggles.

The original and replacement caches disappeared and then after it had been replaced with something a little different the hiding place went. The cache has now been relocated ever so slightly, it seemed a pity to lose this location. It’s a micro, with only a log and no room for anything else. Hopefully it's easily identifiable to a cacher but not to a muggle. You may need your tweezers and will need a pen or pencil.
