Dragoncacher 2: George, Michael or Margaret? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

McYeo: I've had two looks for it since last November, now someone else can't find it either. Even though it seems that it may have been moved - I've now decided to archive. Hopefully, I will place a replacement Dragoncacher in the vicinity this weekend. Hopefully, in a cache site not so spoilt by flytipping.

Geocache Description:

Somerset is the land of dragons. We even have one as our crest (no, it’s not a wyvern it’s a dragon!) This is the second in a series of caches celebrating some of the famous (and not so famous) dragons of Somerset.

Legend has it that on Castleman's Hill a dragon resided. Not much is known about the dragon and not even who killed it. But St.George, St.Michael and St.Margaret are all shown killing dragons in the 15th century 'dragon window' in Trull parish church a few miles away. Maybe one of them carried out the deed.

Recommended parking, room for several cars is to be found 1/2 a mile from the cache just off the A38. From here you will need to follow the farm track uphill and then follow the footpath to the left just before your reach the farm on Castleman's Hill. This path can be muddy.
Both the parking area and cache site vicinity could do with some CITO.

The cache is located where the public footpath joins a lane. You may think that this can be done as a cache and dash - I wouldn't recommend it as the lane leading to the cache site is difficult to turn around in and you will block field entrances. Also you will miss the views walking up to the cache site. When replacing the cache, please cover over well.

Please respect the dragon's cache by only caching in metallic and shiny objects. Cache in tacky plastic and feel the dragon's wrath!

Don’t forget to record the clue in the front of the logbook, which will help you find the final bonus cache.
