The above coordinates take you to the main carpark of
Dibbinsdale Nature Reserve. The
Senior Warden has given us permission
to place this Geocache in the reserve.
You now have another reason to walk around the 32 Hectares (81.1
acres) of semi-natural countryside along the river valley of the
Dibbin. There is a detailed map at the
carpark, but I do advise taking your own from the link
below.
Friends of Dibbinsdale
web site. The
range of different habitats in the reserve make Dibbinsdale
a place of outstanding natural beauty.
Features of the river
Dibbin.
This link gives you the interesting history of
Brotherton Park and Dibbinsdale Nature Reserve. If you
DO download the
Heritage Trail map, you will find your
walk around this lovely area more rewarding.
There is so much to see, it is worth spending a few hours
wandering along the trails, whilst visiting the two
waypoints below.
Twin Ebony - near No 5 on the map
Willow Carr.
From the viewpoint on Spital Field
can be seen the spread of this wet woodlands. Crack willows and
goat willows are adapted to this marshy ground. On the riverbanks
nearby are ash and alder trees.
Spital Field is the remains of a
landscaped domestic rubbish tip that was in use in the 1970's. Elm,
alder, lime, and cherry trees were planted alongside the railway.
White poplar with its 'handkerchief-like' underside was planted on
the slope. From the viewpoint you look over to the ash and oak
woodland of Bromborough and Marfords
Wood in the distance.
Twin Winona - near No 2 on your map.
From this viewpoint you can sit down and look over the river
and floodplain.
We have placed one of our small micros in one of the
Twins. There
is no 
, so
please bring one and tweezers. Once you find the
Twin with
the micro in it, please take the micro out of the
Twin and
transfer it to the other
Twin for the next
cacher to find. Thank you.
Oh, and don't forget to sign the log. Please keep a
good look-out for the muggles enjoying their walk in this
lovely area aswell.
Please let us know if you found the cache in the
1st Twin you
visited and did you enjoy your walk
Bottle of wine for the first cacher to e-mail me with the answer to
"Why did I come up with these names for the
Twins"
Congratulations to
lostnwet.
On your walkabout, you will be passing our other small geocache -
Otters
Tunnel.
Thanks again to the Senior Ranger, Mr Peter
Miller, who has given us permission to set this
geocache.
Look out for the Nature Geocache Trail
around this Nature Reserve coming out in early
summer 2009.
