Take a Gamble Multi-Cache
Clan Dux: The forest path is now too dangerous due to extensive logging so this cache has had to be archived along with the "Barking Mad" series.

This is a puzzle cache taking the lower path up to Leapmoor forest. The path can be muddy so boots/wellies are recommended. The walk from the parking location to the final cache is 1.5 km. Only the final cache has a log to sign, the others just help you get there, if you are lucky.
The lower path to leapmoor forest is prettier than the top path (we think so anyway) and for us it's a nicer walk. The start of the path was blocked by a serious tree fall a few months ago but this has now been cleared.
Having collected lots of dice (probably left by "The Dice Crew") and poker chips from caches, we were inspired to set a Gambling themed cache. Don't worry, no money is required nor will there be any to win. Starting at the first cache you will work your way up the path and hopefully find the "Jackpot".When you find the first cache you will be given a chance to gamble and be offered two locations. If you are lucky, you will be lead to a cache with further instructions and another gamble. If you are unlucky, you will find a cache but with no further co-ordinates and will have had a fruitless search (except for finding a cache of course). But you will now know that the other co-ordinates are the correct ones. If you are lucky you will find the final cache in 5 stages, if you are unlucky it will take you eight stages.The caches are well hidden and the series is a reasonable challenge but also fun we hope. The caches are all located within 20 mtrs of the path but the route to them is over "off road" terrain so sturdy boots would be ideal.
