Parnells Stroll Multi-Cache
aspen13: after the comment and did not find, I check out the stages, I could not beleive the the hiding spots have changed over time. Stage two was gone, stage 3 and 4 were overgrown and some tree felling had taken place. I will hide a trad cache here soon. Aspen 13

This cache is hidden in Avondale Forest Park near Rathdrum, which is a 5 min drive from Rathdrum town. There are 7 stages in this cache including the final stage. To reach the final cache you will need to complete all the stages in sequence starting at stage 0 followed by 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The coordinates of stage 0 cache will bring you to stage one where you will need to answer some questions to complete the coordinates for stage 1. At stage 1 you will find a cache with the coordinates for stage 2 and so on until you get to stage 5. At stage 5 you will need to answer some questions to get the final coordinates for the final stage. There is a car park in Avondale Forestry Park however it is not free. You will be required to pay 5 Euros. A lot of the local like to park at the back/side entrance of the park, which has space for two cars to park. I am estimating the walk will take you about 1 hour and an additional hour for searching for caches. To be safe give yourself 3 hours and maybe let me know how long it took you when you post your “Found it”. I estimate that the walk is between 4 and 6 kilometres. There is more than one path which might take you too some of the caches so distance can vary.
