Splash! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

harmless42: Finally got around to checking this today after a walk around the woods. It had gone!

Decided to archive as I am no longer working at Keele, so its a bit more difficult to do maintenance.

Thanks to everyone who searched for it (even if you didn't find it).

Geocache Description:


Splash!


Well

The White Well was built in an Italianate style in the 1860s and was used to supply water to the Hall.
Behind and to the right of the well is a rather spindly Pagoda Tree Sophora japonica. A native of China, it was first known from Japanese gardens - hence its name. It is an uncommon tree but grows quickly in sunny spots - so its shady locality here is less than ideal!

This is part of a series of caches around Keele Woods which were placed for the Trees, Bees and Student Fees event.

The caches can be made into a circular encompassing the Hickory Dickory Dock series.

The woods can be very boggy, so walking boots or wellies are recommended, especially after rain.

Parking is free on any University car park on weekends and bank holidays and after 5.30pm on weekdays. Alternatively between 8.30am and 5.30pm weekdays, pay and display parking is available. See here for more information.

LOG ETIQUETTE: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
