Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Clifton Country Park, Greater Manchester. It is the first of a series of caches I intend to place which are accessible to families with children.

The cache is a clear plastic tupperware-style container. wrapped in a black binbag to disguise it better. The box has the official Geocache logo on it.
I wanted this cache to be accessible to families with small children. I soon found I was treading a pretty thin line between finding somewhere you could get a push chair or pram and somewhere that is not too obvious and likely to be found by the general public. Hopefully I've succeeded in both, but we'll see.
I've kept the contents of the cache to a child theme, so there's something for them when they find it hence the name "Clifton Country Toybox". I'd appreciate it if others would do the same, or at least keep items child-friendly.
The cache is only a couple of hundred yards from the car park, so even the tiniest of toddlers should be able to make it. The path is a good solid track with a children's playground nearby for a bit of incentive.
The location of the cache is quite open, so please try and be discrete when removing and replacing it. You should be able to loiter in the area without arousing too much suspicion, though.
Veteran geocachers will probably find this a little easy but, hey, a cache is a cache and there's plenty of nice scenery and the old mine workings to look at too.
-=NOTE=- Only look at the hint below if you are REALLY stuck, or want to let the kids decipher it themselves. It will give away the position of the cache for sure.
