Geocache Description:

No cache near J.R.R Tolkien's home? That needed sorting! The cache is just down the street.  Its magnetic, just off floor level and hidden in plain sight. Some stealth needed, the cache is overlooked by houses. 

The log's container is a tight fit but comes out of the geocache with a bit of a wiggle. It goes back in top end first otherwise the magnet won't work. It  does not go all the way back in.


No need for me to talk about Tolkien. The internet, his books and the movies do that.  He lived here in the 1920s when he was a professor at Leeds University.  Its said The Hollies, a nearby woodland, inspired him.  Well worth a trip and you can pick up a cache or several on the way.

Congrats to Basitt on the FTF, snappy caching.
