This is one of a series of caches placed along the footpath from the Round House to Earnse Bay, representing the planets of the solar system. You will need to bring a pen or pencil to sign the logs and you may need tweezers to get the log out of some of them. Please just write your initials on very small logs and replace the cache very carefully in its hiding place.
Venus is almost the same size as the Earth but it has a very thick atmosphere, and so is very hot – more than 450 degrees Celsius – which is hot enough to melt lead. Its day (the time it takes to spin once on its axis) is longer than its year (the time it takes to go round the Sun). It is named after the Roman god of love and beauty.
