A cache located near the River Cole.
The River Cole is about 25 miles long. It rises on the lower slopes of Forhill, one of the south-western ramparts of the Birmingham Plateau, and flows largely north-east across the plateau to enter the River Blythe below Coleshill. Its source is very near the main watershed of Midland England: tributaries are few and very short except in the lower reaches, outside Yardley, so the Cole is only a small stream. Average gradient of the central reaches is 10½ feet in a mile. There is a fast run-off from the drift-covered clay which makes up its catchment area, and heavy rain produces sudden floods: in the absence of replenishing side-streams these subside as quickly as they rise. The Cole is normally shallow, except where weirs maintain an artificial depth. The name is probably Celtic, from the word meaning 'hazel'.
You are looking for a 0.3L container in a camo bag. Contents include a FTF badge and a couple of swaps. At the time of placing there is also a Geocoin.
Beware of dog walking muggles.
