Antheia: As the owner has not responded to my previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please avoid geolitter by removing any remaining traces of your cache or contact a local cacher to do so for you. If you are having difficulty doing so then please contact me via my profile and I will try to get someone to assist. This is particularly important if your cache appears to contain Travelbugs or Geocoins.

Geocache Description:

This is the ninth cache of 10 in a circular walk of approx 8 miles around Carsington reservoir - easily accessible by foot or on a bike.
It is long walk with some inclines and so has to have a slightly higher difficulty and terrain rating but this does not mean any of the caches are particularly difficult or arduous to find.
Good boots are a must especially after bad weather as the path does get quite muddy and wet in places.

*****CO-ORDINATES GIVEN ARE THE CO-ORDINATES FOR THE CAR PARK AT THE START OF THIS CIRCULAR WALK AND NOT THE CACHE ITSELF - THE CO-ORDINATES FOR THE CACHE ARE HIDDEN IN ONE OF THE LOWER NUMBERED CACHES ALONG THE ROUTE******

********BEGIN THIS CIRCUAR WALK FROM SHEEPWASH CAR PARK AND FOLLOW THE CIRCULAR WALK SIGNS IN A CLOCKWISE DIRECTION ************

This series of caches has been placed by kind permission of the Severn Trent Water ranger service who have, quite understandably, asked that cachers do not create "caching paths" to the caches as this detracts from the natural beauty of the area any may lead to the cache being removed.

It has also been requested that you adhere to access restrictions to certain areas, and as such no caches have been placed in these restricted areas - all items have been placed very close to official paths and rights of way.

In a bid to encourage more people to walk around the reservoir we have decided to hide the co-ordinates to 4 of the caches within other caches along the route for this reason it is advisable to follow the route in number order from #1 - #10, the clues for these caches are also included in these boxes.

***PLEASE CHECK ALL LOG BOOK FRONT PAGES FOR CO-ORDINATES***

We apologise to anyone who feels this is unfair but this has been specifically designed as a geo-walk and not as a series of cache and dash hides.

Stealth is required for all of the caches in this series as Carsington Water is a very popular walking area all year round - please ensure all caches are re-hidden well so as not to be of interest to passing muggles.

It is worth noting that there are also other caches in the area which may be of interest.

**********PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAR PARKS AROUND CARSINGTON RESERVOIR ARE LOCKED FROM DUSK TO DAWN AND SO ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE DURING THESE TIMES*************************

All in all a good day out!
