Expecto Patronum Multi-Cache
Frozen Feet: Patronus was collected this morning, still aglow although slightly gnawed on (I hope not by other deer?!?!?!)
Cache is being archived, but will be reborn soon at an alternative location in another part of the forbidden forest that doesn't have night time deer-hunters. Watch this space.

A night time only cache. You will need a torch.
So, you've got your letter from Hogwarts, you've got your wand from Ollivanders and you've been sorted into your house. Now, do you dare to take a night time walk into the forbidden forest and see if you can cast a difficult spell?
The Patronus Charm is difficult, and many witches and wizards are unable to produce a full, corporeal Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom they share the deepest affinity. You may suspect, but you will never truly know what form your Patronus will take until you succeed in conjuring it.
A Patronus is conjured as a protector, and is a weapon rather than a predator of souls: Patronuses shield their conjurors from Dementors or Lethifolds, and can even drive them away. They are also used amongst the Order of the Phoenix to send messages. Harry Potter's Patronus takes the form of a stag. This is what you will ultimately be seeking.
From the published coordinates, you will see the reflectors that will guide you into the forbidden forest. You will need to follow these for just over a kilometre. When you see three reflectors on a tree, look low for the tag that will tell you where the final cache is.
During winter you may encounter small creek crossings along the track, so wear good shoes!
FTF trophy for the first to find.
