Geocache Description:

A Multi-cache in the North West end of Moors Valley Country Park located a couple of miles West of the market Town of Ringwood.The walk is along wide tracks that are buggy friendly . Total distance of walk is about 3½ Km (2¼ Miles) from parking co-ords back to parking co-ords.

Cache placed with the knowledge of the Forestry Commission and in accordance with the Forestry Commission East Dorset Permit Agreement. GAGB Agreement
N.B. as part of this agreement it is not permitted to seek this cache during the hours of darkness.
Please do not leave any edible items

A forest walk with gentle inclines along the route ,but none are taxing .There are views of the golf course between stages 3 and 4. This is the quieter end of Moors Valley but it is still a popular area for joggers and dog walkers .
If you have Moor Time while doing this cache a detour down the path leading westwards at stage 3 leads down over a bridge to the delightful Crane Lake and picnic tables,( this detour path can be muddy after rain and so is not so buggy friendly).If even Moor Time and energy there's the option of a steeper detour up to the Look Out Tower that is signed near stage 5.

Parking Co-ords at N 50° 52.098 W 001° 50.750 is for a gravel pull-in on the south side of the B3081 where there is room for 4/5 cars to park free of charge . Entrance is marked by yellow marker posts very close to the 30/50 MPH sign with speed camera sign.
N.B. The cache route can also be accessed from the car park at the Moors Valley Visitor centre (where parking fees apply)
More information about Moors Valley can be found here. Moors Valley
