Geocache Description:


Whilst walking in the woods near Fernhurst, I found a piece of screwed-up parchment. Many hours were spent deciphering the words and sketch map.................

IMG_1132

From what was left on the burned paper I made out the following - ".....wizard of the woods in the village known as Fern-Hurst....... and afraid of the modern folk who no longer believe in magic and the little people of the forest.............dragon eggs left in my possession.......find before they hatch......PLEASE FIND THEM"

I've also redrawn the sketch map.....

YOU ARE ADVISED TO PRINT OUT A COPY OF THE MAP TO TAKE WITH YOU!

From the parking place, take the path south across the magical stream which is the boundary between the world of the human villagers and the old world of the little people of the woods.
Pass the wooden house where small folks meet and carry on, through the metal kissing gate, past the house of the giants. They have fenced off their castle and their woods. Walk between these fences, across a bridge, up a hill and then you will find yourself at the place the wizard drew on the map. You will know when you are there as you will see the path to the gate on your left. The dragon eggs are in the last, short, stretch of woodland before another gate into a field.

The Dragon Quest requires you to locate the eight dragon eggs and use the information you find to locate the cache.

1 is a huge multi-trunked tree, 2 is high in a large multi-trunked tree, 3 is a tree, 4 is a stump, 5 is a dead birch, 6 is a large tree and 7&8 are multi-trunked (coppiced) trees.

The eggs are not covered over and please replace them as found.
