Geocache Description:

Hopefully an FF Cache.. (Forest Friendly)

Europe's Oldest Letterbox Hybrid cache!

Read more about The Historic Geocaches' campaign.
This cache is an attempt to try and find a Forest Friendly cache but still have the hunt.

The cache is in a small wood (I got a Megellan :) ) about 50 meters past a Standing Stone. It is a 0.33 litre screw top beaker.

Park at N55°05.321', W 1°53.854'and follow the pointer ! The walk isn't heavy and the cache in located on the edge of a small clearing.

There are no swops inside, but a log book, pencil & sharpener and a rubber stamp and small ink pad.

Take a small book with you and stamp it.. I am hoping that this will cache on!! Pun intended. Please let me know your views on this as it could be a way around the FE problem.

18-11-2019 The original location is now being used for paintballing activities, so I have had to move. It is now very close to the parking location at the edge of the wood.
