Geocache Description:

We’ve kept our first hide simple with a traditional cache, having took up the challenge set by badgerdaddy with their Matryoshka series of caches to place the next one in the series.


Using the Russian Doll principle, there will be 5 caches in the Matryoshka series, going from Large to Regular to Small to Micro and finally a Nano. Each cache is ready for deployment with swaps and log books. The challenge is to place the next cache nested within this one if available however PLEASE only take the next cache if you are going to be able to set it. We do not mind what kind of cache is set or where. There is no time limit for setting the next cache if you choose to take it so please take the time to set a cache you know others will enjoy!

As an added bonus in this cache there is an unregistered Travel Bug for you to use as you wish .....this will not be in the stocked cache you may choose to take to place, but in the cache you find! Again though please let us know the details, and reference this cache in their description so we can track their progress.


Other caches in the series are as follows:

Matryoshka: GC2PFAH by badgerdaddy

Matryoshka II: GC2WZPX by WalkerClan

Matryoshka III - The Riddle of the Lost Treasure: GC2Y0JK by MantonClan





This cache is small-micro in size and has been camouflaged. A pen is required to sign the log book and beware the nettles and thorns!
This cache is not recommended at night and is not accessible by pushchair/wheelchair.
Beware of dog walker muggles.
There is opportunity for CITO cachers in this area.

Area Background

[Extract] Railways: Lymm to Warrington - The Original Route

The line split, behind what is now Priestley College, into five shorter branches so that six sidings terminated at the Black Bear Canal. Just prior to the five-split, another branch split off and turned westwards. This again split into two with one of the branches terminating at Loushers Lane. The other branch ran alongside the Black Bear Canal, on the north side. This line and the Black Bear Canal then passed under Loushers Lane with the line terminating at Wilderspool Sidings behind Greenall’s Brewery.
