Off the Beaten Track No.6 – Life’s a Beech Traditional Cache

The Cache

The cache has been placed to challenge you, but after noting the terrain rating a few may decide to give this one a miss. The cache is a small container and may not have a pen or pencil in it so please bring your own, you would hate to get your hands on the cache and not be able to sign the log!!! If you haven’t signed the log, you haven’t found the cache, so please do not log a find as I maybe force to delete your find.

Hillsborough Forest Park

This is a mixed coniferous and broadleaved forest planted within the walls of the large park, once part of Hillsborough Demesne, previously owned by the Marquis of Downshire.  Further details about the forest, including how to get there can be found at WalkNI.com. http://www.walkni.com/walks/255/hillsborough-forest-lake-walk/

The Series

These caches are to replace the Strangely Curious series that were set in 2008 and have now seen better days. This series has been inspired by a renewed love for the area following the addition of our new pup, called Tara, which has seen us getting off the beaten track once again, hence the name of the series. The caches have been placed on or near our regular walking routes, which predominately follow the animal and dog walkers’ trails. Please enjoy, but a word of caution, remember the caches are not on waymarked paths under tree cover so navigation will be that little bit more difficult and conditions under foot maybe challenging at certain times of the year.
