Knighton Loop 1 - Yellowhammer

The first cache of the loop is on the Ridgeway long distance footpath, one of the most ancient routes in the country. The trees along the path are a good place to see and hear the Yellowhammer. The "little bit of butter no cheese" song is a familiar sound along the path.

Please rehide the cache carefully.
