Back to Basics - The Oak Tree Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Pharisee: After a DNF I had to have a look as this was a very easy cache in an obvious place. I didn't find it either... There was certainly no cache where I'd previously left one. As I wasn't altogether happy about this one and as it didn't exactly fit in the circular walk that the others in this series are on, I'll archive it rather than replacing it.

Geocache Description:

A simple, straightforward traditional cache like the ones we used to place before folks got obsessed with puzzle caches, power trails and 35mm film pots in ivy covered trees.

The fourth of what will become a short series of caches placed along a walk that I regularly take to one of my favourite local country pubs, the Lilley Arms (good food and excellent beer, by the way). They will not all be placed at the same time, nor will they be placed in any logical order. This one is the smallest of the bunch, a 350ml 'Clip-Lock' box with some trading stuff in. No puzzles, no clues to find and definitely no 35mm film pots. Enjoy! There are likely to be a couple of horses in this field but I've made a deal with them... If you don't poke them with a stick, they won't stomp on your head. Also, anyone looking out of the window of the houses opposite will see you so please be discrete.

It will be muddy... very muddy in some places, after any rain so be prepared to get your boots dirty. If it's been dry for any length of time then you MAY be OK with a rugged baby buggy. The terrain undulates a little but nowhere could it be called 'really steep'. The full circular walk is about 5 1/2 miles but there are a couple of places to park so it could be split up if that distance is too much for you. I'm not going to give you a hint... just look at the cache name.
