Geocache Description:

Located on the Upton Trailway - This is a cache, short stroll and Dash!!
Parking available for 30mins outside the co-op, and further parking available in the car park behind the co-op.

The Track is wheelchair friendly but there is a locked gate not RADAR, however there is a staggered entrance - Fits my buggy & the other side is wide enough for wheelchair but has 2 wooden boards to bump over!! (see photo)

Okay - so whats this all about??
Local cachers will know all to well that this Deadly Slug has a bug - FTF Fever...............and it's CONTAGIOUS!!!!!!

This cache is intended to be a new FTF series (Akin to Dorset Gals' curse of the FTF - which was fab ) and encourage new cachers to start setting and therefore giving back to those who have set some for us!!

Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (calling it 'Slug's Bug #.........') within 1 month ... i.e. 28 days

2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.

3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but I do ask that:
a) you set it in Dorset and
b) it is possible for a wheelchair user to get to the cache site.
c) you please provide a FTF badge/prize (as this makes it all the more special when you find it!! )

4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series, and include the list of all who have caught Slug's Bug before you!!!

Who will be the first????????

I hope you will play along with the spirit of this and keep the series alive.

By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find.

This cache is small - Log book and small swaps only (will take micro trackables but please dont force larger coins and TB's!!)

Bring your own pen (in case pencil goes walkies!)

A few small swaps included in cache upon setting - including home made Doug Slug FTF Badge!!

PLEASE be careful with it and replace as found and inform me if cache is deteriorating!

Congratulations FORCESIXWINDY on being the FIRST, First to Find for the 'Slug's Bug' Series - we look forward to 'Slug's Bug #2'!!
