Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache set in Gibbies Wood - part of Rushcliffe Country Park. This is Mini & Micro cachers' first cache. Micro chose the animal swaps in the box; Mini thought up the puzzle.

Gibbies Wood is a less visited part of the Park. The coordinates above mark the start of the "Natural Heritage Trail", a short circular walk featuring wooden wildlife sculptures, willow hides and a log maze. The sculpture and landscaping work has been done in irregular bursts over the last 3 years - and some parts are currently a little overgrown.

Your task is to wander round the trail noting the names of the animals which are sculpted. Some are free standing, others are the "Legs" of benches (ie plural). We had a bit of a struggle deciding exactly what some of them are (is it a gecko or a lizard? - actually it was a gecko; its not there at the moment, but you need it for the puzzle!!) and one or two are not that easy to spot.

Then fit some of the names into the grid below (take a copy with you!).......apply some pretty obvious thinking......and find the cache at the following coordinates

N Blue Pink Blue Green . Red Pink Yellow

W Zero Zero Red Zero Yellow . Green Zero Orange

Good Luck!
