Carding Mill Wildlife Wherigo
This cache is NOT at the posted co-ordinates. Read on to find out more...
Owned by the National Trust, Carding Mill Valley is one of the most scenic locations within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is home to wildlife of all kinds including birds, fish, plants and fungi. This Wherigo starts at the National Trust cafe and information centre and takes you along the Pipe Walk to the reservoir and back again.
Along the way, there are 20 zones. At each zone, you will receive information about a species of wildlife in Carding Mill Valley. You'll need this information to answer a question at the next zone. Once you've answered all the questions, you'll receive the co-ordinates for the final cache.
To find the cache, you'll first have to download the catridge, which is available here. To open the catridge, you'll need a GPS that is configured for Wherigos or these mobile apps: Apple, Android. To check if your GPS is Wherigo-ready, click here.
I hope you enjoy learning more about Carding Mill Valley's rich wildlife and experiencing the Long Mynd's beauty.
