You'll need to make some notes so you can solve the clues to find the bonus cache, so a pen and paper, or something to record the clues and or answers, will be needed.
Swag rules: please observe the unwritten-rule in the geocaching community that you only take a piece of swag if you put something of equal or better value/interest back into the cache ... this doesn't apply to trackable items as these are obviously free to move as per their specified goal.
Caches 1, 2 and 3 each start out their life with the following contents: A yellow stretchy bendy man, a geocaching sticker, a marble, a random trolley token, a pirate treasure coin. Cache #1 also has a FTF key ring, but the bonus cache has some extra goodies in it, including a couple of TBs, one for the FTF and one for the STF.
This series of caches is probably best done on foot (although a car nearby could save you some time, otherwise give yourself a good couple of hours, more if you are going to attempt some of the other caches you will be passing close to/by) and Mr Tidos feels that cache #1 is definitely a "by foot only" cache and not a cache that should be attempted in shorts, I’d be very inclined not to try it if you’re out caching with children.
These caches are best done when there is plenty of daylight left - after all you are venturing into woods in the countryside, deep deep into the woods and, depending on the route taken, potentially through plenty of undergrowth to reach cache #1.
This is the third set of woods you will visit and the third set of woods Dexter (our cocker spaniel) was introduced to on his walkies. We now explore them on a regular basis, as there are numerous paths for him to run along and lots of smells to follow.
This is the fourth and final cahce in the series that are hidden in woods that Dexter now explores on a regular basis, plus a bonus cache.
This is a little off the beaten track, all in preparation for when you reach the bonus cache. Please be very careful when retrieving and replacing the cache as the hiding place is actually very delicate.
Please make sure you put the cache back exactly where you found it, thank you.
