Geocache Description:

The first in the NEW unexplored series from the M@stercachers.

The Unexplored Series


....is a series which takes cachers to areas that people don't visit as often as the surrounding area. Sometimes it is as if the area doesn't even exist. The caches themselves can range from micro to regular, depending what I have on me and depending on the area.


Rouken Glen Sledging Area


Most people during the winter months go to the very front of the park to sledge and have some fun on that hill (Near the Mastercache 2). I, along with the family, used to as well. Now, I have this place where, if you go fast enough, can sledge over a small burn. I only discovered this at December 2008, and what a great time we had. Remember to stop when you are sledging just before the river - it turns up very unexpectedly! Have fun. This area is also a great area for exploring the wildlife, such as the birds you will hear at the GZ (well.....when I was there, it was deafening!)! Good area for exploring generally and also for conker-hunting in the autumn months.

The Cache Itself


The cache is a clear asda container that closes tightly, therefore pretty waterproof. It originally contains a logbook, a few crayons and a gold coin (not a GC). These are only a few small items because I was rushed out the house before I hid this cache, and only had a chance to pick up a couple of swaps. I will gradually put more objects in the cache over my many visits to the park. Since there is no pen or pencil in the cache - just crayons - you will need to bring a pen to log your find on paper. If you do not log this on paper, your online log will be deleted.


Special Infomation


Just to mention I will put a special note on this cache page to the people who get:


  • First to Find
  • First to Find with under 100 finds
  • First to Find as a milestone, eg. 200th find etc


FTF - The Sweeney Toddlers

FTF with under 100 finds - weer1ley

FTF as a milestone?


If you want, post co-ordinates on your log for a conker tree, where cachers can go to conker-hunt in the autumn! That would be great and you would recieve a special thanks. This is only an optional task. The co-ords will be posted here:


  • Master QB's favourite climbing area - N55 47.561, W004 19.032
  • The QB's coordinates to a conker tree (thanks!) - N55 47.440, W004 18.710
