I Hate Micro Caches no.5 - Jeskyns Orb Traditional Cache

We all hate micro caches don't we? No, we don't - and quite frankly I love 'em, can't get enough. Now don't get me wrong I love to lay my hands on a tupperware box or ammo can from time to time, but there's nothing I like more than scrabbling around for something small and fiddly. In my book all caches are wonderful.

Number 5 in the series is in Jeskyns, just outside Gravesend.

Jeskyns is a new 370-acre (150-hectare) Community Woodland and Greenspace. It has been created by the Forestry Commission with funding provided by the Department of Communities and Local Government for public enjoyment. Open between the hours of 8am and 7pm, depending upon the available daylight hours. A few statistics in its development might interest you! 150,000 trees and shrubs planted 2054 traditional orchard trees planted 6.8km (4 miles) of all accessible paths laid 13 local schools and 14 uniformed children’s groups have been involved in the project 5556m2 of new ponds created 765 people planted a tree (or ten!) not including contractors 145 tonnes of rubbish removed. (0ver 700 tyres, 3 cars and many washing machines!)

A straightforward cache, ultimately, you are looking for a cache slightly smaller than a 35mm film canister. Please be careful retrieving and replacing the cache .

There is parking available off Henhurst Road at N 51° 24.225 E 000° 23.199.

The cache has a log book but no pen so please bring one with you.

To make up for the fact that these are only the dreaded micro type I'm hoping to make them fairly novel, unfortunately, this will depend on my rather limited imagination.
