Geocache Description:

A camouflaged nano in the woods.  Extremely muddy, so bring boots.  You will also need tweezers for log extraction

IMPORTANT: Do not remove cache from its position.  Instead remove the lid and use the tweezers to extract the log.  Repeated removal of cache from position will cause it to come loose and fall out!

Released as part of the Coming of Age - Have a Blinding Night! event.
Cache contains log only so you will need a pen!

Park Wood is a lovely wooded area on the Tile Hill/Burton Green area.  Whilst wandering around the woods to locate a hiding place we stumbled upon this  fallen down tree exposing the roots in a way that made us think of Medusa's hair.  Instantly we both thought "Cache location!"

The cache is a camouflaged nano container that I received from my sister for my 40th birthday.  She insisted that I mention this in the cache description - not so much because she gave this wonderfully evil little container to me, but that it was my 40th birthday last September, and she is still in her thirties (but not for much longer...)
PLEASE TAKE CARE: At certain times of the year (especially spring), a lot of flowers will be growing on the approach to GZ and it's surroundings. It should be possible to approach and search for the cache without damaging the plants. However, if the area is damaged due to caching, this will be archived immediately. At certain times of the year this cache will be temporarily disabled to allow new shoots coming through to grow without the risk of being accidentally trodden on.

Please try and avoid spoilers in the logs!

Congratulations to Damodear for being the First to Find!
