Geocache Description:

An easy find, I think, just off a rather muddy footpath by the Frome. Lots to explore while you're here, such as nearby Chill Woods.

My first cache, so go gentle with me. If it has rained in the past month, take wellies, and for most of the year, you'll want long trousers to avoid the stinging nettles!
Closest access by road is at N51°32.743,W02°28.137 though you'll probably not find room to park there. Try the little village of Iron Acton instead.
Original cache contents:
  • Intel Pentium MMX 166MHz processor
  • Mystery Polaroid
  • Ladybird Travelbug (534722)
  • Rugrats Chucky wind-up toy
  • Mullard EF184 valve (American: tube) from, if I remember correctly, a television
  • A trio of miniature, promotional spinning tops.
  • A rather cool old key for a warded lock. Please use your imagination when picturing what this key may have opened in the distant past. And leave your guess in the log.
  • A tea candle
  • A mini book based on Raymond Briggs' The Snowman.
  • A packet of DT Brown's chive seeds. Best of luck with them.
  • Flamingo Firsts, "a taster of exciting and original work by writers whose first books are published in 2002".
  • A single Steret
  • A CD containing an DivX-encoded video of Eisenstein's seminal and influential work of 1925, Battleship Potemkin.
Sadly, travelbugs seem to get stolen from here. I don't think there's any pleasant explanation, since anyone who knows about the cache must have seen it on this site, and knows what the deal is with TBs. My advice has to be then, don't put your TBs in here.
