Geocache Description:


The route to GZ is overgrown most of the year, so please bear this in mind before attempting the cache




A simple cache hidden away near to a triangulation point, also known as a Trig point.

This one may seem like it is in a weird place considering the land around it is higher. This is mainly because that land was raised due to the man made mounds from left over clay waste.

There are many footpaths that lead to this point. The main path used can be under water. When I placed the cache, I wore wellies, which was a good thing as the water was over 4 inches deep in places.

The cache is a small container, with room for small TB's.

Please replace as found and try not to damage the container. There is a lot of gorse, heather, brambles and tussocks on the way to GZ, so you will need to watch yourself as you head there. This is why I have put not suitable for finding at night.
