One of several caches located on a short stroll around the quiet country lanes of Sproston Green. The circuit is best undertaken in a clockwise direction starting with the Fox/Multi, followed by the Hounds/Traditionals.
You will need to bring your own pen/pencil to sign some of the logs. Please replace the caches carefully so that they remain hidden from muggles.
Red Fox
Red foxes are usually together in pairs or small groups consisting of families, such as a mated pair and their young, or a male with several females having kinship ties. The young of the mated pair remain with their parents to assist in caring for new kits. The species primarily feeds on small rodents, though it may also target rabbits, game birds, reptiles, invertebrates and young ungulates. Fruit and vegetable matter is also eaten sometimes. Although the red fox tends to kill smaller predators, including other fox species, it is vulnerable to attack from larger predators, such as wolves, coyotes, golden jackals and medium- and large-sized felines.
At the listed coordinates you will be stood outside a pub. You need to count a few items whilst here.
AB = Number of substantial wooden posts holding rope fence (count both sides of the car park entrance)
C = Number of large lanterns of the road side of the pub
D = Number of sides to each of the large lanterns
The cache can then be found at :
