Geocache Description:


The Geosquare Series:-

The Ordnance Survey (OS) National Grid provides a unique reference system, which can be seen on all Ordnance Survey maps of Great Britain. Great Britain is covered by 100 kilometre grid squares, each grid square is identified by two letters. On Ordnance Survey maps these squares are further divided into smaller 1 kilometre squares by grid lines representing 1 kilometre spacing, each numbered from 0 to 99 from the south-west corner, in an easterly (left to right) and northerly (upwards) direction.



In the Geosquare series the cache is named after the 1 kilometre square in which it is placed. Others are welcome to add to the series, using the logo, sidebar and description.


The Cache:-

The cache has been placed along a footpath that at the time of placing is not clearly marked on the ground (but yellow marker posts do exist) next to a place named "The Wilderness". I have often wondered what this place is, so while exploring I took the opportunity to place a cache here that I just so happened to have in my possession .

Please do not try to enter "The Wilderness" as it is a potentially dangerous area, the water is apparently 6 meters deep, but the area is fenced off and would take a considerable scramble up a steep bank to actually get anywhere near it.

The cache is a small click-n-lock box (4"x3"x2") and contains a couple of swaps. The cache will take small coin's or tb's but please note that this is a small box! Please re-hide the cache as found to protect it from the elements.

Parking waypoints have been provided, from the North for a short walk or from the South for a longer walk, with the option to take in a couple of other caches.
