Geocache Description:

A small cache, sitting in a tree. An extension to our Bleasdale series. The container contains just a logbook. There is a slight change of terrain here, in order to access the cache - waterproof boots may now come in handy!! 

Please be careful retrieving the cache, there is a small amount of barbed wire on the fence, hence we don't feel it's suitable for kids.

We noticed that there was a permissive path that links existing public footpaths to form a circular route around Lower Fairsnape Farm and thought it would be nice for a few caches. Please be careful walking through this field - The meadows are managed to create a patchwork of short grass interspersed with tussocks. The short grass areas are ideal for birds nesting and feeding, the tussocks provide cover for chicks. The farm has also created several scrapes, which are shallow depressions which collect water in the winter and slowly dry out during the spring and summer. These scrapes are vital for providing food for breeding waders and their chicks. They have also planted more than 7 hectares of woodland and created a small wildlife lake. Please keep dogs on a lead to ensure you do not disturb any birds which are nesting in the surrounding fields in the spring. Watch for livestock in the fields too.  When we placed this cache, we saw two hares boxing, and they came very close, it was pretty cool.
