Geocache Description:

This cache is to celerbrate my 40th Birthday, and comes with a birthday tracker, the "St. Christopher, The Traverling Saint" who's mission is to travel far and wide, upload pictures of its travels, and return to this cache on my birthdays - the 8th September. The footpath can get very muddy and the nearby stream can make acces to the cache difficult when the water is high. Please replace the cache exactly as found.

The cache is located A short distance off the national cycle routes 54 & 68, on a public footpath. This part of the cycle route runs along a dismanteled railway line, and is a great route for a ride or walk.  The footpath runs from Greenside court, off Ladybank Road, Mickleover to Radbourne, where it Joins the Bonnie Prince Charlie Walk, which is a waymarked route from Ashbourne to Derby to celebrate the 60th anniversary(1995) of the formation of the Ramblers' Association.  This route follows the general direction of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's march from Ashbourne to Derby in 1745, two  hundred and fifty years ago. This is a great walk, About 21KM from Ashbourne to Ladybank road, which is on a bus route, "The Mickleover".

Your looking for a small camoflarged clip box at ground level, please replace in hide as found. The is a pencil, for writing in the log book and room for small swaps and trackers.
