Geocache Description:

If you go down to the woods today, you better not go alone.......... 

Placed in conjunction with Scarefest 2

A lovely wood to walk through during the day - creepy at night 


This cache is NOT at the published Coordinates. All you will find here is a carpark and trail head into the wood. 

On entering through the gate walk forward to the junction in the path and use your torch to look around for the first reflector

The path to the cache has been set out using tiny drawing pin size reflective tacks. Please do not touch them as they are easy to disturb, this is so as to not damage the area and meet geocaching placement guidelines. They are retroflective so for best results you will need to hold your torch at eye level.

From here the time to cache and return should take about 30 mins or less for the average person. This is allowing time for you to look for the reflectors. I have placed the reflectors mainly at path junctions so you know where to go, . you should be able to see them from 50 metres away with a decent torch. Its paths all the way until the very end. Keep an eye on young cachers

CARE AND COMMON SENSE are amust.

Final location 

When you notice the reflectors are appearing more often this is a clue you are near the end.

When you get to a tree with 2 reflectors STOP 

Stand at the tree facing the reflectors and turn 90 degrees to your Right and walk forward 10 paces. the cache is in the obvious place 

This has been designed to be done at night. The reflectors I have used are supposed to make it all but impossible to do it in daylight.

I can only ask that you do this cache in the spirit of the way it has been placed
