Geocache Description:

This cache is part of our ‘Anniversary Amble’. When walked in full it forms a 4.5 mile walk.

This ‘Amble’ series has been set down to mark our 100th cache and 5th wedding anniversary. If you are doing this as a walk the full series is roughly 4.5 miles across mixed terrain that can be rough and overgrown at certain times of the year. Some of the caches can be done as a drive-by. 5 of the caches are anniversary related, some others are named after songs/places to do with our wedding and the others will be changed as our marriage matures. Ten original caches we set out in April 2013 and more were added in November of that year. There are a few geo-walks from the village (the dawdles and amble) which are recommended but this one will take you eastward (crossing the A141 twice so be careful with geokids). The village of Doddington has some interesting points of interest including the Queen Victoria Jubilee clock tower and the golden post box which are worth a visit and photo opportunity. Now walk along the north end of the airfield (if done clockwise). Parachutes used to be made of silk but more commonly now nylon. I know this isn't quite cotton but on a fine day this spot will offer great views of the airfield and parachutists and sometimes the microlites. If it is a poor day I am afraid you will have to be satisfied with the wind sock 'cotton' connection.
You are looking for a container cache that is originally placed with - car, soldier, rubber, pirate whistle.
