MAP's Camo Animal Trail - Penguin Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs or logged into geocaching.com for some time I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

This cache is a camo cache designed to blend in.

Thank you to Sheffield Council for their permission to place these caches within the local reserves.

MAP’s Camo Animal Trail is a series of 14 caches, hidden together by Hulababy and the.gillinghams, along with the three little girls we have between us. We wanted to set out a child friendly geocache trail in a couple of our favourite parks. The series can be attempted in any order as there are many entrance points to the parks.

All caches are accessible by most of the family, once they are walking. Unless you have an off roader I wouldn’t attempt it with a pushchair. Similarly the cache locations are not wheelchair friendly as they are generally off the main footpaths.

Dogs are welcome in the parks. Just remember to be a responsible owner and clean after your dog as this is intended to be a child safe route.

If you are hungry or thirsty during your trail there is a café within Endcliffe park as well as sandwich shop on Rustlings Road. You are also not far from Ecclesall Road which offers many places to eat and drink.

There is limited parking within Endcliffe Park itself. However, there are also lots of on road parking spaces alongside the parks. Please be courteous to residents living nearby.

The parks are accessible by public transport and there is a bus stop right outside Endcliffe Park.

MAP refer to the initial letters of the three little girl’s names who helped plan and lay out the cache trail.

The series is called an Animal Trail because the girls chose to name each of the caches with an animal’s name.
