Geocache Description:

A traditional hide -- 1.5-ish litre, snap-shut plastic box. Quality selection of swag. Be prepared to step carefully and do a bit of ducking and crouching. Remember the Green Code and allow the path lead you to the hide.

Most of the original contents were presented to us by colleagues in the course of a company meeting (thus the subtle Microsoft sub-theme to the swag). The occasion for the presentation was our birthday in 2009.

Orginally this was to've been hidden at the South Lodge Hotel, near Horsham in Sussex. During the meeting we found the perfect place: nestled in the roots of an historic, listed and enormous rhododendron -- and the hotel graciously agreed. But, try as we might (and true to the Cache Listing Requirement and Guidelines!), we couldn't figure out a sustainable maintenance plan.

Let the path lead you to the hide. Enjoy the views over arable farmland. We've had a different crop for the last 3 years running. Let us know what you think it is this year. Remember: the path is a circular route so you'll walk past the cache eventually.
