The cache is a 0.7 litre clip-lock container that has been hidden inside a camouflaged bag. On setting the cache, it contained a logbook and pencil, a few items to swap and £1 for the FTF. This area is popular with dog walkers and children, please be stealthy when re-hiding the cache to make sure it doesn’t go walking!
