Ranting about Ash Priors
#2 – Firewood
A short series around the Ash Priors common near to my home. The common itself is a popular spot for dog walkers, runners and cyclists alike. There is a high chance of you seeing grey squirrels, and on hot summers days (if your quiet) grass snakes, adders, slowworms and common lizards. The common itself is maintained by Taunton Deane borough council, but does have its own volunteer committee who frequently patrol the common checking for damages (so be careful).
The series can be undertaken any time of the year, although it will be muddy in winter. I personally recommend doing it via walking, but from the saddle of a bike is also good.
Each cache in the series leads onto another cache through fairly well maintained paths, although in some cases you may not be able to get a bike through the most direct route. I would also advise that you don't wear shorts as there are plenty of stingers, brambles, ticks and other nasty’s that are looking for their next meal.
The cache
The cache can be accessed after a short walk from the first in the series through the woodland. The path to this cache starts a bit further west than the first in the series. After this point, it’s up to you which path to take.
You do not need to move/ disturb any of the logs around the GZ to find the cache.
Be sure to collect the bonus number
This is my first series, so any feedback or even FP's are much appreciated.
Placed with kind permission of Taunton Deane borough council.
Happy Caching
