Geocache Description:

A very small lock-tight container, holding a log book, pen and a few bits and pieces.

Pebble was an enormous French Lop Rabbit who was born in December 2007 an died on 23 August 2010. As you might have gathered, Redzer has a bit of a thing about grey rabbits and searched for a long time before finding Pebble who joined the family in early 2008. He was born in Peter's Green.

Pebble loved eating, dozing and binkying. He was an expert binkyer - rabbits that are happy run around shaking their heads as they run. Pebble looked very funny when he's doing this because his ears were enormous.

Redze and Dooley regularly walk around this area; they'd love it if you might say hello should you spot them. Do take some time to ensure that the container and its protective bag are properly sealed and if you have a minute to take a photo of your expedition, Redzer would be well chuffed.

It’s possible to do all of Redzer’s caches in this area as part of a roughly circular walkA small plastic container, holding a log book, pencil and some small swaps. The walk is approximately 8.25km using the following route. Redzer has walked this in 1 hour and 25 minutes, without stopping at the cache sites:- Redzer’s Reserve ~ Max’s Mooch ~ Vanilla's Villa ~ Redzer’s Ramblings ~ Misty's Meander ~ Ardal's Amble ~ Big Bunnies' Box ~ Pebble's Pad ~ Duke & Dutch ~ Pastry's Promenade ~ Tino's Trek ~ Sweetpea's Stroll ~ Dooley’s Dell ~ Redzer’s Rabbits ~ Truffle’s Trove ~ Redzer’s Rapids ~ Redzer’s Tartan Teaser

Redzer hopes this circuit can be an eco-friendly caching experience, allowing individuals to appreciate the beautiful landscape and wildlife through walking rather than driving. Although this won’t be suitable for everyone, she’d be grateful if cachers restricted driving to travelling to Digswell, should public transport not be available. If people drive on the by-ways, it may upset the farming staff and adds to the circuit's carbon-footprint.

There are a few watering holes around this circuit. The Cowper Arms, by Welwyn North Station, which also has a café, at N51° 49.460 W0° 11.552 is close to the start/finish co-ordinates of N51° 49.206 W0° 11.470 and The Plume of Feathers at N51° 49.355 W0° 9.487 is near Pastry's Promenade.

Congratulations to ~*teamtan*~ for being the first to successfully complete the whole circuit in one go and by foot!
