Nobody forced you to do this!!! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Warthog1511: For some reason a fence has been placed along the edge of this field blocking access to the railway cutting. I suspect it has been placed by the farmer without permission. Not worth falling out with people if cachers are seen going through the fence.
Shame as it was my favourite placements and a true T5

Geocache Description:


This cache is placed near the entrance to the old Bolsover railway Tunnel which has now been blocked off. It is an impressive sight and the cutting is a great example of nature reclaiming the land. 
YOU WILL NEED SAFETY EQUIPMENT FOR THIS ONE!

KNOW YOUR OWN ABILITIES AND ONLY ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU ARE CONFIDENT AND SUITABLY EQUIPPED TO ACCESS THE CACHE.

The Cache is placed on a thin tree trunk growing Horizontally out of the cutting of a dissused railway, it is about 5 metres up from the bottom of the  cutting.

I have included a way point which is the best place to access the cutting.

GZ coordinates have been taken from the top of the cutting to give you an idea of where to look when you get down there as the GPS signal is very poor down there.

You should with a keen eye be able to spot the container on your descent into the cutting. You will have to make your own choices on how to get to this one when you see it! It is wet, muddy, slippy and hazardous so you should have safety in mind when making your decisions  

 

I would recommend you do not attempt this one alone but if you contact me in advance I can send you my phone number and you can txt before you start and again when your safely clear as I dont live/work far away so I can check on you if necessary.

Log must be signed to claim the find. Just spotting the container does not count! 

Be safe and Enjoy
