Geocache Description:


A straightforward cache. Placed in the Thornborough Community Woodland. You can pick this up on the way to Coombs Quarry.

You're looking for a small "clip" lock box, camouflaged to blend in. It's large enough for small swaps.

The new community woodland at Thornborough has been recently planted. species include rare black poplar trees. Wildflower meadows and abundant wildlife ensure that this should be a pleasant stroll.
