Geocache Description:

A Simple Cache, part of a series around Brockholes Nature Reserve, perfect for caching families.

This Cache is part of a series around Brockholes Nature Reserve.

It is a small ClipLock box, original contents: Small Pencil, Log Book, Opencaching coin, Plastic Insect, FTF Badge.

This cache is located in a small coppiced woodland with a mixture of Hazel & Oak trees.  The Hazel trees are cut to their bases every 15 yrs to allow for regrowth of many straight trunks from each base.  These long poles when cut have a variety of uses, traditionally in charcoal making but also in fencing.

The cache is close to a Public Footpath & the Guild Wheel Route.

For more information about the Guild Wheel Route go to : www.prestonguild2012.com/guild-wheel

Car Parking is available free for 20mins but parking charges do apply afterwards (£1 for hr).  Access to the site is 24hrs on foot, but the car park is locked between the hours of 8pm & 6am.
