My original and first cache, the Parrot
Sketch, has now been extended into a multi-part cache. The concept
is simple. Find Parrot Sketch and
Parrot Sketch 2. These finds can both be logged individually.
Each microcache has a clue leading you to the location of
Parrot Sketch 3. Thus
Parrot Sketch 3 cannot be attempted without first visiting the
other two caches and solving the very simple clue.
Nice thing is, you can log three separate finds after a
straightforward 2.6km wander in the country down a straight
track.
This is Parrot
Sketch
There are two possible routes…
Route 1
Recommended parking is in the quiet lane at N51.24.788
W000.56.308. This will take you on a round trip of less than 1
km (unless you decide to walk on further to
Parrot Sketch 2 and
Parrot Sketch 3) – the path is very muddy at one spot although
I’m sure this will dry out in the summer. There are no stiles but
the mud may stop you using a buggy during winter/spring or wet
weather.
Route 2
An alternative route is to park further down the lane at
N51.24.938 W000.56.121. The path is grassy, narrow, and had
low level stinging nettles along the route in September so take a
stick if using this route. Not suitable for buggies and one stile
to cross. If you are on a bike, I would use Route 1.
You are looking for a microcache, an aluminium canister, painted
black, slightly larger than a 35mm film canister. It contains a log
and very small pencil – no room for swaps.
In the lid of the canister you will find the clue to
Parrot Sketch 3 which requires you to find a further clue at
Parrot Sketch 2 first.
And why did I call this The Parrot Sketch? Simply because I am a
fan of Monty Python and noticed that Parrot Farm is not far
away.
Enjoy the walk..

Nice quick find on a lovely afternoon. I say quick find - as we approached Son #1 (7) who had cycled ahead, proudly shows us the cannister! We'd only said "It might be in that area" - and he found it in seconds!!! We're training him well......

This was one of our first caches but we never got to log it nor take note of the letter in the cap. Decided to revisit so we could do the Parrot Sketch series

Found this twice with cowfields as we forgot to write down the formula - although weirdly had to look for longer the second time - sun must have been getting to us! ta!
