Geocache Description:

Sam has lost his ball – can you help?

Sam the Labrador loves walking here and meeting his friends, but one day he was so busy meeting and playing with his friends he dropped his ball and forgot where it was.

This is a series of caches inspired by that lost ball and the fun the children had trying to find it.
Can you help Sam find it?
Parking is available at N52.41.792 E000.30.892 There is room for 4 or 5 cars. This is to the left of a private road

On the banks of the Nile an old crocodile
Lay sunning himself one day,
And he gently did croon an attempt at a tune,
As he watched some small children at play.

He pondered awhile, and a hungering smile
Revealed the extent of his jaw;
He was twenty feet long, was uncommonly strong,
And his teeth were arranged like a saw.

He used every wile their hearts to beguile,
As toward them he stealthily stole;
He balanced each scale, and waggled his tail,
Then gobbled those children up whole.

And such is the style of this old crocodile,
He sheds bitter tears o’er his prey;
He was filled with deep gloom when he thought of their doom,
And he wept all the rest of the day.
Beware of a crocodile’s tears, better yet, beware of the crocodile itself!

Sam was so busy here trying to save the children, he’s sure he must have left the ball here. Beware the croc, hes watching you, pretending to be a squirrel
