Geocache Description:


Avon - Leigh Woods

Leigh Woods is a 2-square-kilometre (0.77 sq mi) area of woodland on the south-west side of the Avon Gorge, close to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, within North Somerset opposite the English city of Bristol and north of the Ashton Court estate, of which it formed a part. Stokeleigh Camp, a hillfort thought to have been occupied from the third century BC to the first century AD and possibly also in the Middle Ages, lies within the reserve on the edge of the Nightingale Valley. On the bank of the Avon, within the reserve, are quarries for limestone and celestine which were worked in the 18th and 19th centuries are now derelict.

The Geocache

This is a puzzling container hidden away deep in the heart of the woods. 

Please do not attempt to force entry and keep the challenge alive for future seekers. 

The log is inside the puzzling container, there is no other logbook. It must be signed to claim the find!

The cache might need a bit of a jiggle to retrieve, do persevere

You do not need to climb any trees

The second puzzle inside needs info from the cache page Avon-Fauna to solve to reveal its coordinates. It's another great cache so I recommend it. This leads on to Avon-Birds too.

Enjoy!
