Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed in memory of a very good friend of mine Timothy the Tawny. Timothy lived in a 250 year old oak tree for seven years in this beautiful area until last September. Unfortunately that month the courting month was very wet, actually too wet to woo, and he never found a partner and either flew south or died. Tawny owls can live for 16 years. I knew him for seven. I will miss him and just hope that one day he will return.




OK Folks you're looking for a disguised container in a beautiful area with fantastic views. This cache will complete a 1.6 mile circuit, possibly the most spectacular circuit in Essex with fantastic views from every cache.

 Start your walk from 1. The Cunning Cache Of Hadleigh 2. My Secret Cuckoo Valley 3. Scarecrows Lookout 4. AAAA Acorns Above 5. Dont Believe in Fairies and 6. this cache  RIP Timothy of Scarecrow Country. This will result in a pretty easy walk with just one hill up to the last cache.

 Enjoy this fantastic area that abounds with wildlife take time to take in the ambience and when you find the cache give the old tree a hug that's what us counrtry folk do, gives you good luck for the year.

 Obviously I will move this cache if Timothy ever returns - let's hope I have to.

FTF goes to Gary of Grobo [Master of the Night] well done Boye! Huge thank you to Andrew Woodhouse Country Parks for permission for all my Country park caches.
