To Hell and Back: Sonic Hideaway Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

BalooCrew: Following up on our earlier message, the hiding place and footpath access has become very overgrown, and access is not really viable. Therefore, sadly we are archiving this poor wee beastie. Thanks to all the visitors.

We shall try to find an alternative hiding place nearby so as to maintain the trail continuity.

Geocache Description:

A short trail of approximately 3.5 km that will take you from Willoughby-on-the-Wolds to Hades (Lane) and back via Occupation Lane. The trail is entirely along public footpaths, bridleways and green lanes. The terrain in generally level, involving walking on footpaths across pasture fields with gently inclined slopes. The trail can be very muddy in places, especially after rain so approparite footwear is advised

A short series of seven geocaches have been placed along this trail on the Nottinghamshire-Leicestershire border. This cache is a novelty disguised cache. Along the route you will see a fine example of ancient "Ridge and Furrow" field patterns dating back to Medieval or possibly even Saxon times. The pattern has been produced by ploughing with non-reversable single blade ploughs, drawn by oxen or horses. Leicestershire has some of the best preserved examples of "Ridge and Furrow" field markings. These ancient structures are generally lost when fields have been ploughed up by modern farming techniques, and their preservation here indicates that these fields have been used only as pasture land for grazing since Medieval times


DOGS CAN BE TAKEN ON THIS TRAIL BUT PLEASE KEEP THEM ON A LEAD SO AS NOT TO CAUSE DISTURBANCE TO ANY LIVESTOCK IN THE FIELDS
