Geocache Description:

This geo-snail is hopefully the first of many in and around Portsmouth and maybe who knows one or two may go further afield!

This geo-snail is placed "underground" which can be accessed by snails and slugs and the odd muggle or two!!

Fact: Geo-Snails look just like garden snails

This cache is situated along the path locally known as Copsey Path, the path joins Drayton and Farlington together.

Eric Echo can only fit his log paper inside his home, but this is still very tricky so it would be recommended to bring some tweezers. He is very brittle so please handle with care and put him back where you found him.

Once your near Eric your GPS might not be very accurate.

Stealth maybe required as this is a well used footpath. I hope you enjoy finding him and find out why he is called Eric Echo!

Updates from 05/04/2012
*Update due to muggling and a painted tunnel - Eric decided that he doesn't like the electric lighting.
*Another update - after the DNF I checked using my GPS and mobile phone and the coordinates are perfect (with +/- 3metres). Where the cache is located doesn't involve any litter.
