Geocache Description:


 

HORSE AND HOUNDS

 

 

 

 

We decided to name this cache Horse and Hounds as there were several horses in a nearby field and several riders passed us on the lane.  Also we could hear frantic barking from the nearby boarding kennels.

 

Parking can be found at N52 26.907   W001  35.779.

 

The clues are naturally based on horses and hounds.  The cache is a lockable watertight container within a camo bag with the usual goodies inside. Please make sure to replace it exactly as found.
