Half Handkerchief Lane Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

fangornxx: The hedgerow where the cache was placed has been grubbed out (presumably by the potential developers). I will come back sometime and replace, but builders activity in the future may preclude this.

Geocache Description:

Traditional Cache (35mm film pot) near the footpath


This cache has been on my to-place list for a while largely because of the unusal name of the lane that runs from Queenborough, St Ipollyts to Tingley (another unusual place name recorded in the Domesday Book). If anyone knows the origin of the name, please let me know and I will add it to the description.  The cache is on the short footpath between Half Handkerchief Lane and Waterdell Lane, Gosmore (Footpath 11).  It is hidden in the base of a coppiced hazel about half way along the path. You do not need to be able to identify trees really (and it is difficult in winter) as the site is fairly obvious.  It may need a bit of finger work to locate the cache which contains a log, pencil and a decimal halfpenny coin.  The path is used quite a lot by dog walkers and can be quite muddy in winter, so appropriate footwear is advised after rain.  The site also backs onto some allotments, so be aware of gardeners as well.
