The 'Crook'ed Mile Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
A woodland walk (into The Crook Plantation) on well used paths (some a little steep) with plenty of wildlife to observe and views when the trees aren't in full leaf.
We found this location while setting up some temporary caches for Sprog 2's birthday party. The coordinates above are for an item hanging in the bushes between the parking places and the field. This will give you the coordinates for the final cache which is a small clip box.
Both locations are under tree cover, so you may need to use the 'Additional Hints'
We're starting this cache off with a couple of Travel Bugs and a FTF prize of a marble egg, plus lots of other goodies.
Update: This location has changed considerably over the 10 years since we set this cache up. The paths, especially in the summer, can be a bit overgrown, so don't be perturbed when following your GPS. The trees at the final location have now grown up, concealing what was once a lovely view. If it wasn't for the number of appreciative comments about the age of this cache, we would probably be thinking it was time to archive it. There's a photo in the Gallery showing what was originally the view from GZ and I've just added a Spoiler photo of what it looks like now (01/08/17).
