Geocache Description:


Heber's Ghyll #2: Green Immersion

The cache, a small flat tin, is hidden near a trail crossroads in the middle of the wonderful Heber's Ghyll woods where you will be surrounded by / immersed in multiple shades of green.

Note: under the thick tree canopy here (and possible cloud cover) your GPSr may struggle a little -
so make good use of the description and hint, as required/desired.


To reach the cache location: park on Heber's Ghyll Drive at or near to N 53 55.295 W 1 50.940 and, after following a main trail contouring west, follow any of the myriad trails up into the woods and the cache location.


The cache was hidden in recognition of westonspfg cache GC4RWEB Gurglefin's Grave which was hidden nearby on 10/11/13 and archived some 6 years later on 3/11/19 after 64 finds and 3 FPs.

(continued from #1) . . . The greens shifted and danced, like the imaginary trolls: sages, limes and pistachio, with hints of yellow in lichens, emerald and jade in shadows, olive and apple tones, the green eyes of small pebbles below the surface, planes of dark steam-engine greens like hyper-colour photos of 1960s trains, about to depart, sea greens, bank note colours, parakeet-bright screaming greens and more muted earthy and weedy variants.

All these shades and tints of green added to an impression of a place that was a little unearthly, for all the carefully laid and maintained paths and well-looked after bridges. Inevitably a literary association came to mind and I thought of the Green Knight’s chapel from Sir Gawain, although that one, as I later reminded myself, was viewed as a bad, devil-haunted place: 'Whether this be the greene chapelle?/Here myght aboute mydnyght/The dele his matynnes telle!. . .'
