Blink... Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Pieman: It is with sadness that I archive this one. What was once a beautiful area has been turned into a wasteland by heather, gorse and tree clearance. There maybe reasons that this is being done but the result is that this has gone from a great area to a deeply unpleasant place and is likely to remain that way during my lifetime. In other circumstances this would be classed as vandalisation.

Well done to the recent finders as the tree the cache was in has gone and I couldn't find the cache.

Geocache Description:

This is the first part in a series of two caches. As of 15.8.09 THERE IS NO LONGER ANYTHING PHYSICAL TO TAKE TO GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION YOU NEED, JUST A REFERENCE TO NOTE to find "...Blink". Just make a note of the instructions on the cache lid.

You will not be able to do both caches on a single trip.


PLEASE MAKE SURE THE BOX LID IS CLIPPED ON CORRECTLY BEFORE REPLACING THE CACHE OTHERWISE IT GETS WET!
Look into my eyes

The cache is located in Little Budworth Country Park. There is a car park which is open from the beginning of May until the end of September from 9am until 8pm. At other times it shuts at 5pm.

The park is now a nice mixture of heath and woods. Before the war, grazing ensured it was entirely heath, but since then silver birches have taken over large areas. Cheshire Countryside leases and manages the land and they have plans to open up more of the park to heath.

During the war, soldiers were stationed at Oulton Park and carried out exercises on the heath. Some of the trenches they dug can still be found in the woods.

Many thanks to the local ranger Lee Thompson for the historical information and for permission to place the cache.

The cache is in a Tupperware box inside a camo bag.
