Geocache Description:

10cm Camouflaged Screw top Tube.

un-screw the bottom from the top, and replace exactly as found.

The (over grown) area looking over the dirt road is an area known to me as Breech Moss, I used to spend hours on the moss and in the nearby Nursery Woods with mates in the 70's. Building dens and mucking about.... and on the run up to bonfire night we used to get wood, tyre's and anything that would burn from the tip to the back of the moss, and drag it through the tree's and build a bonfire for the 5th November.
On the night our parents would have bought a few fireworks and they would let us set them off (yes, us primary school kids) out of milk bottles, the catherine wheels would be nailed to the gate and bangers let off..!!!
Our mum's would have made hot pot and treacle toffee slabs and my dad would have brought a bag of spuds to put in the embers of the fire, so we could have baked potato's....and burn our hands and tongues on the hot ashe...!! Bliss, but that's how we learned stuff when I was a kid...shame the kids of today can't experience what we (of that age) did....and don't get me started on conkers..!!!

Congratulations to Mr Pink Icing for his FTF.
