St John's Lye 4 - pipe dreams Traditional Cache

When we started caching, nearly a year ago, the St John's Lye caches were the first ones we did. We noticed recently that they'd been archived, so it seemed like a good opportunity to put some new caches out. Some of these are in similar positions to the old ones, some are different. We hope you enjoy a wander round the Lye - it's a great bit of wilderness close to town. The route is intended to be child-friendly.

This cache is a copy of one we found in the lake district that we found in the summer. It's our favourite so far, as it makes you think a bit, and should be a bit of fun.

The difficulty with this one isn't finding the cache - that's probably quite easy. But, once you've found it, how do you get it out? The idea isn't to remove the outer container or to pull off the bottom. You might need to use the tool that you should find hanging on the fence behind a tree about 4 and a bit fenceposts to the right. You'll probably also need to visit the waypoint mentioned below.

In keeping with trying to make family-friendly caches, this will probably require two people to complete the task. If you want to attempt it with one person, you'll probably need some kind of accessories.

Please put things back exactly as you found them, otherwise it might not last very long.

Replaced with something simpler for now

Finally, you'll probably also need wellies on the way to this one - it always seems to be soggy around there, even in a drought! And bring a pen, the cache is too small to contain one.
