Henry Williamson - The Authors. Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Weary Banker & Bookworm: Although it might have been possible to relocate the cache not too far away, the search for a replacement 'Dark Lantern' container has been unsuccessful and as the cache itself has not been visited for the last year, decision has been taken to archive it.
The bonus cache has been amended and has just got a bit easier.

Geocache Description:


THE AUTHOR

Henry Williamson was born in London in 1895. He is best known as the author of "Tarka the Otter", which won the Hawthornden Prize for Literature in 1928 and was filmed in 1977. He was a naturalist, soldier, journalist, farmer, motor enthusiast and author of over 50 books. His descriptions of nature and the First World War have been highly praised for their accuracy. By one of those extraordinary coincidences, Henry Williamson died as the crew were actually filming the death scene of Tarka.

THE CACHE

The coordinates above are for your car parking and from there it should not take you more than 30 minutes round trip but first you will need to find the coordinates.

12467-123567-2346-12467-36-2346-13457=123567-13457-12467-12346-13457-13457-1234567.

The coordinates will take you to a fallen tree. About 50-60ft East North East of this, you should see a clump of fir trees. although you would be forgiven for thinking it was just one. You need to be looking inside this clump. The cache container is in plain view and you should be careful that your presence in that area is not seen as this cache is very 'muggleable'.

Once again, I am afraid there is NO pen in the cache container which is roughly 4"x 2".

For your information, if you turn left from the parking, a short distance down the road is the entrance to Park Farm--the current River Cottage HQ.
