Geocache Description:


An easily approached cache along public bridle ways from several directions, with good views of the Piddle Valley to the east and Poundbury to the west.

The theme of this cache, and it's container, were used some 5 years ago, but as the original went MIA after only 13 visits, it's time to resurrect it, albeit in a new location.

Way markers - we've all seen them and probably just taken them for granted, but like so many things today they are actually quite regulated. The details of the approved design are published by the Department For Transport. Their detailed drawing is below.

                         

Department For Transport Drawing

The idea is that the sign is visible from a distance as a distinct blob of colour which can be discerned as directional from close to.

If approaching the cache from the suggested parking location it would be best to head for the path junction at the given co-ordinates first, or your GPS device is going to take you somewhat "off piste".

You are looking for a Bison type container here, so please come armed with a pen and tweezers.
