Geocache Description:


In The Dark, Dark Wood

 

This cache can only be completed at night!

 

Who knows what you might encounter in the darkness, on your journey through these spooky woods! 

Listen carefully and you might hear the quiet calls of nocturnal animals,

A little rustle in a nearby bush or the creeking of an overhead branch

Bidston Hill is filled with creatures and critters

all waiting for the sun to go down...

Just like you

 

The posted coordinates will take you to a crossroad of public footpaths

Once there, you will need to locate a small reflector approx 7ft high

 From here, your only guide will be a path of single white reflectors, each visible from the last

Eventually, you'll come across a tree with 3 reflectors

This is the penultimate marker before GZ is visible 

GZ is marked by 2 pairs of reflectors

 

Time to get the torches out!

 

You should allow at least 40 minutes to complete this cache

 

Please use the layby on Boundary Road for parking

*The carpark is locked each night*  

 

Before you embark on this night time adventure, remember to be safe

-Tell someone where you're going and roughly when you'll be back

-If you are responsible for geokids, light 'em up!

That way they're harder to lose yes

-Take spare batteries and/or torches

-Don't go alone! (You've seen the movies)

Seriously though, accidents happen
