Geocache Description:


 

This log had been viewed    times since 27th January 2005

 

 

Intro...

Welcome to another, erm, quality geocache from Ratty & Son! This little baby is in the woods. Wokefield Common pine woods to be precise. The common is part of the Burghfield district and is very popular with dog walkers. There's not a lot to say about it really, as I haven't been able to dig up any history on it yet, but I'm still looking!

A top tip for any wildlife spotters... do this one at dusk. The amount of deer in this wood is unbelievable!

 

Terrain...

This cache is located in a woodland with very wide pine needle covered paths which don't seem to be very muddy, even after wet weather. If you have a reasonably sturdy buggy, you shouldn't have any trouble!

 

Parking...

Parking is available in the woodland car park at N51º 23.453 W001º 03.741

You can download the parking waypoint as a LOC waypoint file

 

The Cache...

The cache is a medium sized ammo box painted green with the geocaching logo painted on the side.

 

Original Contents...

At the start the box contained;

  • Thermal socks size 5½ - 9

  • Thermal socks size 9½ - 12

  • Lithium batteries 4pk

  • High energy rations

  • Cold weather survival guide

  • Blue LED key ring torch

  • Audio out scart cable

  • Bouncy ball

  • Bubble liquid

  • PCPro DVD with episode of 'The Office'

 

We hope you enjoy finding our cache...

  • Please do not change the location of the cache

  • Ensure you have re-hidden the cache properly

  • Be careful not to disturb the copse unnecessarily

  • Take your litter with you

 

Have fun!

Ratty & Son


       

Hello peeps! Check this out... As of 9th February 2005, my four Burghfield caches now contain a co-ordinate based clue. Once you have collected all four clues you will be able to find a fifth and final Burghfield cache - a mystery cache which goes by the name 'A Certain Glow' (GCMR26). The clues are on small laminated pieces of paper and are located with the log-book (or in the micro-cache!).

Those who found any of our caches before the 9th February 2005 can drop me an email and I'll send you that clue. Those who found any of our caches after this date and don't have the clue... tough! You'll have to go back again! He he he...
