Geocache Description:

This cache contains a log and pen. It also should contain Dougie the Donkey! Please selfie with Dougie and then replace Dougie. Nearby are some hidden treasures such as Merrymead country park and an animal sanctuary


This cache is best visited well out of school run hours as there are SIX schools in this road! On street parking is available with free 30 minute slots. Although this is stroller accessible it might not be easy to grab by a wheelchair user. You should be able to reach the cache from the pavement. Use the hint if needed. Please replace carefully! This is a busy road.

There  is space for  trackables to be dropped off/collected. Dougie the Donkey would love you to photograph yourselves with him and post online! However, Please leave him here in his "stable". Dougie is always up for an original pose!

Carry on down the road to visit more of his friends at the sanctuary.

Happy hunting!

NB this replaces previous cache HOPE FOR HUMPHREY

 

This can be found as part of a BAT team cache loop around Brentwood measuring approximately 2.7 miles and containing 8 fairly easy to find caches. It is mainly on pavements with a few slightly "off road*"caches. Easy for families and convenient from the High Street. The route can be done in either direction from any start point.
