The Ferret Warren Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

RedFerret: In retrospect - although this was my first attempt at a cache hide, and it holds some sentimental value, I think it’s time to say goodnight. Thank you to everyone who searched for this cache.

Geocache Description:

A multi-cache, just outside Sankey Valley country park, on paths and open land.

I’ve been geocaching for a few months now, and as I’ve found 100+ cache’s I decided it was time to hide one. There have been some great hunts, but amongst the most enjoyable have been some of The Sparrow Boys caches. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I have attempted a multi-cache in the same vein (although nowhere near as challenging).

After trying this cache, why not head down to Sankey Valley country park, which is nice for a walk, and contains quite a few caches as well.

Stage 1 is at the listed co-ordinates, (a custom micro containing only the co-ordinates for stage 2) which some will find easily, whilst others may take a while. When found, please replace exactly as found.

Stage 2 is a small camouflaged clip-lock type cache, with a logbook, pencil and some swaps, plus room for small trackables.

This area was railway access for the now non-existent RAF Burtonwood airbase, which is now rapidly becoming new housing. The base saw action during WWII and the Berlin airlift, mainly by the USAF, and later as a US Army depot. Both stages can be quite busy, so timing and stealth may be essential.

A FTF certificate awaits the First To Find.

               Congratulations to exdreddedcath and Bethanybean on the FTF
