Updated to be part of the Badgers Trail, please see the first cache for more details of the loop.
This cache is 3/4 of the way up the delightfully named BLOOD LANE leading up to Hyde Hill, the start of the ridge to the east of Bridport.
It's a steep climb up the tree lined lane, but if you carry on up to the top after you find the cache, you will be rewarded with an amazing view across Bridport to Colmers Hill and beyond. If you want a shorter walk, after grabbing this cache come back down the track a small way and turn right onto a steep field. Work your way to the bottom which comes out on Crock Lane. A nice triangular (if short and steep) walk if you park in the recommended spot and pick up two of our other caches (Badger’s Trail #11 - Blood Lane and Badger’s Trail #12 - Nordon’s octagon).
The cache can be found nestled in the branches of a large tree opposite a badger hole. The container is a small, black and plastic, about the size of a mustard pot. Big enough for the log and a few small swapables.
The nearest parking is in Pasture Way a short walk up Crock Lane to the start of Blood Lane, there are sections of this road with no pavements, so take care, especially if you have small children. The climb up Blood Lane is fairly steep and fairly rutted in places. Fine in the dry with a pair of trainers, but no pushchairs or wheelchairs.
