Geocache Description:

The correct road to reach this site is very well formed and comes off Hyland Way. You may find other 'roads' on maps that will lead you here, but we don't recommend them. Once in the vicinity of GZ there are 2 walk tracks either side of GZ that will lead you to the cache. The first will put you in the view of muggles, the second will give you cover. Both are easy walking.

Sometimes a cache can be more about the container than the actual hide site. My mum gave me this container, as she thought it would make for an unusual cache.. As soon as I saw this, it reminded me of something in particular. So a bit of lateral thinking later, and we came up with this site.

The area you are in contains 2 dug-out shelters where explosives were kept - at a safe distance from town of course. Mr 2max remembers being shown this spot around 30yrs ago, it had ceased housing explosives by then. He was told that the dug-outs originally had concrete 'safes' in the middle and that they had been used by the shire, or old CRB.

The first dug-out is at GZ, and the second smaller one can be found just down the hill a little.

There's also a pretty view through the trees, looking out over farmland towards the Prom.

Congratulations thebois@316 - FTF.
