Geocache Description:

A night cache in the woods.

This area is very busy during daylight hours, but not at night, so come along for an adventure in the dark.


This cache can only be found

IN THE DARK

You will need a good torch. A head torch is ideal, but if you use a hand torch, then you should hold it at head height to illuminate the markers.

Good footwear is also advised as the trail goes up and down and is very uneven in places. After rain, there may be some mud.

From the parking area, go via the Trailhead (Waypoint below) to Start at the published coordinates where you will find your first 2 markers which are close together.

Then follow the trail of markers until you find the cache location which is indicated by several markers on a single tree:

The cache is at the base of this tree.

There are many changes of direction and turns on this route, so keep your GPS on, so that if you cannot see the next marker, you can return to your last confirmed sighting.

Be careful of low branches close to the path, especially when you make a Right turn!!

A large parking area is Waypointed below.

We have done our best to make the route accessible to wheelchair users but some sections may prove difficult. A couple of helpers / pushers will be needed.

The route should be OK for off road pushchairs.

Don't forget your spare batteries.

Please.....Trade Fairly.....and.....Leave the cache well covered.

It has taken us several hours to reconnoitre the route and place the markers.

Please....Take a couple of minutes to make sure the cache is concealed.
