Geocache Description:

A short walk....

Doctor Ant was well known in the Burnham area in the early 1800s. His practice was located in Crooked Lane, and the local parishoners were often heard to exclaim, "Hello, Doctor Ant", as he walked by.

He worked from a meagre shack by the side of the rhyne, which suited Dr Ant just fine.

However, Doctor Ant was no ordinary doctor; for he used nothing but water to treat his patients. Even more remarkable was the fact that all of his patients recovered well - none ever complained, and he had a steady stream of patients waiting to be treated.

Will you find the secret of Doctor Ant?

As a mark of respect, please quietly say, "Hi, Dr. Ant" as you replace the cache, exactly as you found it.
