Learmount 7 Fits like a glove Traditional Cache

This is a traditional cache, one of a circuit of seven in Learmount Forest. The caches should be achievable in under two hours and are a roughly circular route if taken in order. The going is mostly forest track but the positioning of the caches makes them unsuitable for wheelchair users.

Learmount Forest covers an area of 118 hectares of the foothills of the North Sperrin Mountains and is located at the edge of the village of Park. The Forest dates back to the 18th Century and there are over fifteen species of trees planted within, some of which are well over 100 years old. These include Lime, Scots Pine, Norway Spruce, Beech and Horse Chestnut. At the lower end of the forest the River Faughan winds its way on its journey to the sea. The forest paths are dotted with wooden sculptures and for younger geocachers there is a playground beside the car parking area.

The cache is a camouflaged micro set off the track under the canopy. GPS is difficult under the trees but the hint should be enough.
