Geocache Description:


The Location

This challenge cache is placed at the beautiful Meridian Wood. This is a Millennium planted woodland on the edge of the village of Bluntisham. There is a circular footpath which takes you to the cache location where there are amazing views across the valley. The woodland is managed by the Woodland Trust, special thanks goes to them and their site manager for permission to place this cache.

When visiting this wood with one of my Brownie packs, I was amazed by the view and thought it was a location that truly desrved a cache to bring others to the little-known site. I was thinking about the height of the location and how for Cambridgeshire this is actually fairly high, which brings me on to the challenge!
