Geocache Description:

The fourth of the Gare Hill Ring of caches.
The whole walk is approx 3.5km.
 
Micro container - please rehide FIRMLY!!!
You will need a pencil/pen to log.

Follow path uphill until near the top.
Turn left off main path, into grassy area.
There should be two leylandii trees in front of you.
Look out for uneven ground and some water underfoot

This is a great location to perhaps see some of the forest wildlife

Woodland streams and banks support many vascular plants including hard fern Blechnum spicant, hard and soft shield-ferns Polystichum aculeatum and P.setiferum, pale sedge Carex pallescens, and both opposite-leaved and alternateleaved golden saxifrage Chrysosplenium oppositifolium and C. alternifolium. There is also a rich bryophyte flora in and along these streams, including the moss Hookeria lucens and the liverworts Chiloscyphus polyanthos, Scapania undulata, Riccardia sinuata and Trichocolea tomentella. This community is unknown elsewhere in Wiltshire. In Great Bradley Wood a stream has been dammed to form a small lake which is fringed by tussock sedge Carex paniculata with wood clubrush Scirpus sylvaticus.


I'm currently looking for people who might be able to help look after my caches whilst I'm away undertaking a doctorate. If you think you might be able to help, please do let me know by contacting me at geocachingjohn@googlemail.com (If you can't help maintain them long term, it would be wonderful if you could take along some spare logs/pencils/etc. to keep these caches alive, just in case)
