Five - Post Box Traditional Cache
Think Visual: Regrettably it is time for this series to bite the dust - on closer inspection all the caches could do with being replaced so we have taken the decision to archive the series, especially as we are no longer living close to the area. Thanks to all those who have visited and left kind comments over the 3 years they have been in place. Happy geocaching one and all!

This is a 2.5 mile walk starting from Leek Wootton Village Hall car park (free).
The co-ordinates for the car park are N 52° 19.197’ W 001° 34.599’
The walk is mainly along public footpaths but includes a short stretch along the Warwick Road, which has a tarmac footpath. Please take care crossing this road as it can get busy, especially at peak times.
The route includes two short flights of steps, three kissing gates and one stile.
The footpaths are regularly used by dog walkers so please keep a watchful eye open for muggles – the difficulty rating of these caches takes this into account.
The cache title should help identify where to look but an additional hint is also provided.
This is the fifth cache in a series of eight. It holds a log sheet only, so please bring your own pen or pencil.
Directions
From Four – North Going South, continue south and take the path off to the right, just before the first house. Then take the path to the right by the gate.
Point of Interest
The area you are walking through was once the arboretum belonging to Wootton Court on your left. The house was originally called Green Hayes but its name was changed to Wootton Court C1883. In 1972 Mike Smith (Warwickshire County and English cricketer) converted it to a country club. It was sold again in 1990 and has now been converted into apartments and reverted to its original name of the Hayes.
