Geocache Description:

A night cache that shouldn't take too long in an urban setting.


Having been inspired by a joint night caching visit to Belfairs Park we decided to have a go at one in this park whilst doing maintenance on another of my caches. 

Parking is at the posted coordinates and you can get into the park where the second waypoint is through the gate on your way to the start point (or jump the fence if you're feeling adventurous). 

It should take you about 20-30 minutes. When parking at the suggested coordinates, don't block the gate to the Scout Hut (signs tell you this). There is extra parking on the nearby street.

As it is a night cache you will need a torch! No other equipment is needed, but don't wear your nicest high heels as it is quite/very muddy in patches at the minute. 

You are looking for tacks at roughly mine and slapheads height. 

1 tack is straight on.

2 tacks for make a turn.

3 blobs for look here (here's the cache!)

 

You are looking for a custom cache inside a bigger container courtesy of Slaphead59 . 

The park is reasonably well lit from surrounding street lights and is suitable for dogs (if you want something to guard you!)
