Merry Men - David of Doncaster Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Incredible: Due to the extensive damage in beecraigs caused by all the high winds, have had to remove this series of caches for safety reasons. The rangers are working hard to reopen all of the park, however it is a maze of fallen trees at the moment. Retrieving the caches was like taking part in a military assault course

I am aiming to replace the caches when all of the park is open, however it will take some time to clear the outlying areas, so rather than leave them disabled have removed them.

Sorry to see the series go, as it has proved very popular, thanks to everyone who found them.

Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed for the "Camping at Craigs" event on 22nd - 24th July 2011 and is one of a series of caches hidden in the woods. It would be appreciated if the cache was not searched for or logged before the Friday of the event

David of Doncaster is one of Robin Hoods less known merry men. He was always quiet and moody, subject to depression and plagued by bad luck.

He poached a king's deer for his large and hungry family, but was caught by King's Foresters. They cut off his ears, so he wears his black hair long. Though gloomy, David is a handsome man, but dresses carelessly. In summer his shirt is ragged and sleeveless, and his black hat has the brim pushed up out of the way.

The cache is hidden in the trees near to the beech walk. This is a lovely part of the woods and the cache be found independently as a cache and dash on its own from the car park or as part of a circular walk around the woods

The cache is hidden in the trees, near a busy corner so stealth may be required
