Geocache Description:

small tupper ware tub for a smallish cache.
low difficulty, its easy to stay out of sight here.
cache is up a very steep bank which is hard even when dry at times.

When I was a kid I used to think this hole was the cave of a giant monster. turns out it is just one of the old mine shafts that are all under Firth Wood. It has now been fenced off with a metal grid put over the hole. but the spot just brings back memories of hours playing in the trees.
there is one small path leading up the bank off of the main root.
please dont create new ones.
