From MM5, emerging from the woodland by any of the paths that do so (straight ahead gives the most glorious view of bluebells and the other two paths weave between bramble thickets), head down towards the pond area. You are looking for a Lock & Lock container with a logbook and swappable. You will need to bring a pen. Make a note of the letter within as the intention is that eventually there will be a bonus cache, once the loop is completed.
The pond is there to collect rainwater and runoff from the nearby meadows. It provides a water source for wildlife, although being seasonal it can dry out in prolonged dry spells. The area surrounding the pond is sown with wild flowers and in summer is alive with bees, butterflies and other pollinators. It is a great place to do The Big Butterfly Count. The cache is hidden near to the pond by a magnificent field Oak. The English Oak is believed to be the tree that supports the greatest diversity of species in the UK. Hundreds of species of insects also provide a good food supply for birds. Flower and leaf buds are the food of the Purple Hairstreak butterfly. In Autumn acorns are food for squirrels, badgers and deer. Fallen leaves provide food and shelter to invertebrates and holes in mature trees provide nesting sites for birds and bats.
