Can You Put Your Finger On It? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs or logged into geocaching.com for some time I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

If you wish to email me please send your email via my profile (click on my name) and quote the cache name and number.

Many thanks,

Geocache Description:

A disguised cache in a fantastic woodland environment. Paths are good and apart from one steepish climb are easily accessible from the car park.

Chopwell Wood really is a wood for everyone. This 360-hectare mixed woodland is a real gem, set right on the fringe of Gateshead and was designated as a Woodland Park in 1993. More recently Chopwell Wood has been recognised as a PAWS (Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site). This means it was an ancient forest but in more recent times it has been planted with modern timber crops. Most of the ancient trees, predominantly oak, were felled in the 17th and 18th century for ship and bridge building the remnants of these still survive on the steep crags above the river Derwent. The Forestry Commission now has a national policy that means that now only native trees will be planted on PAWS sites.

We love walking/cycling here and have been meaning to place a cache for ages. Great at any time of year and you are almost guaranteed to spot Red Kites. This cache is near the kids favourite sculpture hence the name. It is an interesting container which somehow seemed to fit although maybe not exactly!?!

Good paths and easy parking make this cache accessible whatever the weather and we have done it with a pushchair although it was an off-roader.

Enjoy!
