Geocache Description:

A night-time only cache. You must bring a torch to complete this cache. I also recommend you have sturdy footwear. Make sure you use a reasonably powerful torch to find the markers, or have very keen eyesight.


The initial coordinates take youto a location where you can park your car. From there, follow the track to the starting coordinates, which will be next to a large pine tree, (which is near to a bench).

To start, stand at the starting tree, and shine your torch around into the trees. You should see an orange glint reflecting from one of the trees. These are your trail markers. Once you find a trail marker, stand next to it and shine your torch around looking for the next one. It may take you a while to find the first marker if you have not done one of these caches before, but once you know what you are looking for, the rest should be a lot quicker to spot.

There are a total of 9 individual markers to reach the cache. You should be able to see the next marker from the previous, look around. Each marker should be at approximately the same height.

GZ will be identifed by 2 vertical markers. The cache is a 400ml sistema container with a logbook, pencil and the usual trinkets. Please re-hide the cache exactly as you found it, as we don't want it to go missing.

You may have noticed the livestock attribute. I dont think the bovine muggles are supposed to be there, but they were keeping an eye on us (as they were continually moving away from us) while we set the cache up.

After finding the cache you can make your way out by heading back in the general direction of the carpark. You should come across white arrow trail markers to help lead the way.
