two little birds: A number of caches in this series have gone missing more than once, so I have decided to archive them all. Thanks to everyone who searched for them and I hope you enjoyed the trail!

This is the fourth of a series of a 7 cache loop. The first 6 are traditional caches, with each of these holding a clue to the name and the location of a seventh mystery bonus cache.
It is recommended that the series be done in order from 1-7, as short-cuts may lead to confusion and delay, possibly involving barbed wire. In general the footpaths used in this series are in relatively good condition, though in a few places they can get quite overgrown so watch out for spiky plants and stingers.
This series of 7 caches is based on the Little Bird’s love of all things Pokemon. It is her dearest wish to become a Pokemon master and spend her life hunting the world for these ‘pocket monsters’, so it was natural that for our first ever cache series she would choose a Pokemon theme and invite others to ‘Catch Them All’ too.
She has chosen a specific Pokemon to ‘live’ in each cache location ready to be captured and trained by all you budding Caching Masters, so pay attention to the description of the little creatures as clues to their likely locations may be found in mentions of their favoured habitats and behaviour!
This cache spot is the home of Snorlax.
Snorlax are normal pokemon whose distinguishing feature is their sleepiness.
It is a large beastie, mainly consisting of belly and mouth, which spends almost all of it's time sleeping. In order to wake one, a pokemon master must use the music of the Poke flute to prevent it waking in a bad temper. Once awake, a Snorlax is immensely strong and very, very hungry! They can cause earthquakes with their Punches and are extremely unfussy eaters who will eat anything vaguely edible. When left alone, they wake once a month and eat 900lbs of food before returning to slumberland. Their favourite foods are bananas or large, thorny vines. Snorlax's are found in forests and mountains, usually propped against a large tree in a secluded spot, snoring peacefully.
Snorlax's cache is a black, round container with a lock 'n' lock lid. As well as the fifth clue to the bonus mystery cache, it contains on activation a logbook and pencil in a plastic bag, First To Find and Second To Find reward cards and a number of swaps including a Pokemon trading card.
There is fairly heavy tree cover in this area, so GPS co-ordinates may be less accurate than elsewhere. Don't get too lost when navigating the turn in the loop!
