Oaky-dokey is a series of caches around part of Shire Brook Valley, celebrating our most iconic native tree. There is a bonus cache at the end, so make sure you get the information from the logbooks. The series is 2.5 miles if you start from the nature reserve car park. There are some slopes and uneven ground, but generally the paths are in decent condition.
Oak fact. Jays love acorns and can pick and bury thousands of them during each growing season. Like squirrels the jays can remember most of their secret stashes, but inevitably some are fogotten and can grow into new oak trees.
You will need to do a bit of climbing for this - if you don't fancy it yourself then bring a friend! The bonus information will be repeated in more than one cache, so you don't need to find this one in order to locate the bonus. There's a spring nearby, so watch out for water round the botton of the tree.
