Permission to place this cache received from the Senior Ranger

Council Countryside Service.
Please remember to bring your own pen or pencil in case there
isn't one in the cache at the time of your visit. One of the
fundamental understandings of geocaching is that visitors sign the
log so if you can't do that you can't count it as a find......
