Geocache Description:

Please be careful when looking for the key cache in Summer months. Adders have been spotted in the area. Remember they are more afraid of you!

OK - 6Apr2007 - All fixed now. Micro 1 has not been moved so that is great news. Micro 2 has been replaced almost in the same position where it used to be, and micro 3 has been moved slightly (about 50 feet) to be in a much more pleasant location. Rules still as before and all locations for the long route have been updated.

 

The waypoint on the cache page is for parking close to the start point.

This cache is designed to be both a challenge for experienced teams and easy for novice teams. Please make sure you take a pen and a pad of paper. This cache is very close to GCE0CB 'Singled Out' so you may want to find that before setting out. Please be aware of the warning signs in the car park. Take all valuables with you.

This cache will be a walk of 1.5 mile through low lying and often wet terrain so make sure you have your walking boots or wellies with you. It is possible to complete this cache using Mountain/Trail bikes. Off Road pushchairs should be fine as well although Microcache2 and the main cache is not accessible with a pushchair or bikes Although you can park it within 50 feet in eyeshot).

Please read the next bit carefully or you will make a mess of it:

This cache is either 5 location multi-cache or an easier 2 location multi cache. If you do not want to complete the longer multi-cache and choose the shorter 2 location multi-cache you will be unable to open a cashbox in the main cache. However you will still be able to log the cache as found but will not have the key for the cashbox as this can only be obtained by completing the longer 5 location multi-cache.

The cashbox contains a ‘Hall of Fame’ logbook and some special souvenir cards and a special prize for the first 5 finders.

Choose your waypoint and make your choice:

For the longer 5 location multi cache N51 21.044 W0 54.741 (This is the waypoint for Micro Cache 1) For the clue to this cache decrypt it from the cache page

For the Shorter 2 location multi cache N51 21.193 W0 54.672 (This is the waypoint for the Spoiler Micro Cache). For the clue to this cache decrypt it from the cache page

Spoiler Cache- This cache will give you the location of the main cache. You will however forfeit the chance to open the Cashbox (Inner Sanctum) at the Main cache location but you will be able to fill in the logbook and score the cache:

Micro Cache 1- This provides the waypoint to Micro Cache 2

Micro Cache 2- This provides the waypoint for Micro Cache 3.

Micro Cache 3- This will give you the Waypoint for the Main Cache Location and the Key cache

Key Cache-You will find the waypoint for this cache in Microcache3. You will only find this cache by finding Micocache3 to do this you will have to complete the full 5 location Multicache. If you do this you will have access to a Cashbox(The Inner Sanctum) in the main cache that will enable you to enter your name in the ‘Hall of Fame’ and collect a souvenir and perhaps a special prize too.

Main Cache. This has all the normal stuff in it along with a Cashbox(The Inner Sanctum). The Inner Sanctum has a hall of fame for those who found it the difficult (Longer) way and some souvenir cards. There will also be some vouchers that the first 5 finders will be able to redeem for a special prize Plus some Geocaching.com goodies.
