Geocache Description:

This cache is an extension to my first cache Natter, Natter, Natter (GC3BRMW) There are 6 caches in total in this series [:)]

Ainsdale Discovery Centre is the base for Sefton Coast & Countryside Ranger Services which co-ordinates a wide range of education activities for children from age 4 through to A level students. Many different interesting habitats are available for fieldwork along the Sefton Coast including beaches, sand dunes, woodlands, ponds, meadows, highly visited areas and quiet less-disturbed land. The wide sandy beaches can be used to discover the myriad of life in our seas, while the dunes provide older students with examples of a changing sand dune system. Inland urban sites have their own special features.

Open during the summer, the Discovery Centre provides a popular place for visitors to the coast to pop into on their way to the beach and provides a gateway to Ainsdale and Birkdale Sandhills Local Nature Reserve. The centre offers a wide selection of information on the rich cultural and natural history of Ainsdale and the surrounding coast and provides an insight into the work of the Coast and Countryside Service. The centre has a programme of events throughout the year.

Whilst doing this cache you can help with conservation by observing a few simple rules:
1, Please keep dogs under close control or on leads and please clean up there mess.
2, Please do not disturb the wildlife, keep people and dogs out of the slacks (breeding pools) in spring and summer.
3, Do not pick flowers.
4, Do not remove spawn or tadpoles from the pools.
5, No fires or camping
6, Please take any litter with you, there are bins at the car park and on the beach.

This walk can be enjoyed throughout the day and is especially nice in the early summer evenings. Ainsdale beach is just a short walk over the dunes so you can easily make it a day out with a picnic and a paddle in the sea whilst grabbing this cache.

The cache is located along the path lined with white tipped wooden marker posts if you start at the car park, or you can follow Pinfold path/Green marker posts if you come in from Pinfold Lane end.

Cache placed with the kind permission of Principal Coast and Countryside Officer.

Happy caching!

Congratulations to Jazzmonster for your FTF
