Arachnophobia - Night Cache Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Cachekeepers: We'd arranged to wander around the woods, but then the freezing weather struck. Now my sister is heading away for a fortnight. Everything always seems to conspire against us regarding the maintenance of this cache.
And with that in mind, I'm really sorry to say that it's time for this to be archived as this was one of my favourites.

Geocache Description:

THIS IS A NIGHT CACHE

The coordinates above are for the start point of the reflectors, not the cache location.

Follow the reflectors into the woods. Stay on the main path at all times. The walk is about 1 mile. If you do not see the next reflector just keep going on the main path (There are reflectors at every junction). When you near the cache there are double markers on the trees.
The log is in a 35mm film canister

Tips for your Survival:

Bring a good head torch or flashlight so that you can spot the reflectors, see where you're going and avoid the spiders.
Wear sturdy footwear. Parts of the path are steep and muddy (And the better you can move, the faster you can escape if giant spiders attack).
A mobile phone is handy in case something happens...
You may be very brave and want to risk the walk through the arachnid infested woods by yourself. If not, bring a friend. If you don't know anyone brave enough to accompany you, write a note on here and we'll do our best to find someone to help. We may even be persuaded to come out and help you (as long as we're allowed to bring our spider-swatting equipment).
But, most importantly: Tell someone where you're going.

The last 25m are off the path and into the overgrown woods, so please be especially careful at this point.
