A simple traditional cache hidden along the Thames Path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If finding this cache in April/May we recommend visiting nearby North Meadow. The meadow has over eighty percent of the British population of snake’s head fritillary and comes to life in colours of mauve and white with the flowering of this beautiful, scarce flower.
As for the odd name of this cache - originally the cache had to be extracted from a black hole in a burnt tree. However, the old tree is now completely overgrown with brambles and nettles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Thames Path follows England's best known river for 184 miles (294km) as it meanders from its source in the Cotswolds through several rural counties and on to the City of London. On its way the Trail passes peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and many lovely villages, finishing at the Thames Barrier near Greenwich.
