Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden just off the west mendip way, a 30 mile route across the southern edge of the Mendip escarpment from Wells to the sea at Uphill visiting Wookey Hole, Draycott, Priddy, Cheddar, Shipham, Wavering Down, Loxton and Bleadon Hill.

The cache itself is a very small (0.25L) plastic box covered in camoflauge tape, and it cannot fit a pen in so you will need to bring your own. When you get near to the co-ordinates you will find yourself at a 3 way junction of paths with an island of grass in the middle. The cache is not in the tree on the island but another on nearby. When removing the cache you must take it out of the top of it's hiding place otherwise it will not fit and you won't be able to retrieve it. Large amounts of force are NOT needed to retrieve the cache, as this could break the container.

This cache can be done in a series with the other Tree stump trail caches, and you could complete the whole series walking from Tyning's farm (where there is parking for a few cars) in a circular walk of around 3 miles . Alteratively caches number 3,4 and 5 can be easily walked to from Roberrow, where you can find parking in the car park opposite School lane.
