This cache is one of 9 on a walk starting at Hammerfield! It is quite near a house but you should be able to find it without being spotted! The bridleway is popular with riders and walkers (and the odd 4x4) so please keep a look-out for them. The name says it all for this cache so watch out if you've got a geo-dog.
The walk takes between one and a half and two and a half hours depending on how quickly you walk and how quickly you find them - they are all quite easy though. We suggest you go anti-clockwise to avoid the long uphill stretch.
Suggested route- The Holly and the.. >> An Arboreal Marriage >> Hollow Bottom >> Pricke Patch >> Knobbly Bottom >> Devil's Throne (Almost) >> Hedgerow Hide >> Stumpy >> Hammerfield
Feel free to park at Hammerfield Farm N51°00.288 W000°47.977 where the largest of the 9 caches is placed.
The caches are hidden on bridleways, paths and minor lanes. Traffic tends to be light though. The bridleways can be muddy, bumpy and rather holey. Parking is available near(ish) to all of the caches if you want to do them quickly. See individual entries.
The route can be cycled non-stop in about 20 minutes but there are two inclines.
Additional parking for Prickle Patch and Hollow Bottom can be found at N51 00.937 W000 49.291
