Geocache Description:

Here since 25th of April 2002. Now into it's 11th year!

Not too many brambles but shorts are not recommended!

About 5 minutes from the car park to the cache.

There is a steep slope but it is not the only way to the cache.


Hidden between the top car pack and the reservoir itself. It's an ammo can.

Please be careful when rehiding it not to damage the box and ensure the cache is not visible.

Please be aware that the car park is only open as follows:

0900 - 1800

I've had reports of the barrier being locked at 1800 so please make sure you are back by this time
!Outside these hours, careful roadside parking is possible.

A recent finder has reported finding a squashed metal box close t the cache site. Note - this is *not* the cache!
