Geocache Description:

Strangely Curious Walk in the Park - Part 2

The wind does wonders for the landscape

The co-ordinates given above at not those for the cache but the end of your route for Part 2.


The Series  
Walk in the Woods, Part 2 This is the second in a series of caches around the perimeter of Hillsborough Forest Park. As the name of the series suggests the caches are intended to test your GPS handling skills and opening your mind to the art of camouflage. There are five caches in the series, all with different challenges both in the way you get to ground zero and the type of containers they are hidden in. The caches are all on a 4 – 5Km circular walk, some of which are on soft tracks made by animals and dog walkers, so make sure you wear good footwear. Allow yourself about 2 hours of good light to complete all five caches; you’ll need it to find some of the caches.

Part 2.

 

There are no co-ordinates to this one, to find the cache you must go to each of the given way points (1-6) in consecutive order, somewhere between way point 1 and way point 6 you’ll find this one, you'll know where to look from the clues and hint below.

The cache is found at a spot where you may need to get down on your knees before you can pass.

It’s close to where you leave a main path and a fallen tree with three trunks will show you the way. The cache is a one litre container camouflaged into it surroundings, containing the usual selection of swaps, the log book and some more figures for you need to record for Part 5.
