Geocache Description:

A small micro cache placed in The Spinney, an area of woodland.



You are looking for a small black bison tube hidden somewhere along the footpath through the Spinney.

The Spinney is a small area of ancient woodland maintained through the Greening Galleywood project.

It's a lovely little wood which has a little pond which can be quick nice to stop near to take a well earned rest.

The Missing Cache


There's a little known story behind this cache about how it was placed, lost, found then replaced again.

This cache was originally placed all the way back in 2015, just a stones throw away from the new GZ. At the time it was placed, silly me forgot to get the coordinates doh!

After finally getting back and getting the correct coordinates, I found that the cache had gone missing. I searched for a good while but alas, no luck. I tried searching for it again 6 months later, but still couldn't find it. Eventually I admitted defeat and accepted the cache was gone for good... or was it?

Fast forward to 2017 and while out on a stroll through The Spinney I decided to have one last try. I searched the area high and low and once again couldn't find it. But as I walked back to the path, I took a look down at my feet to see something vaguely shiny - it was the long lost cache!

Despite the cache being stuck in mud and probably underwater for the best part of 2 years, the log book was still in perfect condition. I couldn't believe it. So I decided that the cache must be replaced for others to find, and so 2 years on here is the cache for everyone to find. Hopefully you'll find it much quicker than I did!


Be careful if taking pets or young children as some of the plants in this area are poisonous. So make sure they don't try to 8eat them. Further information available on a sign at the entrance of the Spinney.
