Fougères Forest Foray Traditional Cache
6gowild: It's had a good run but now is the time to archive this one. I hope cachers have enjoyed visiting this location (we did!). Thanks to RosiePosie for maintenance over the past (almost) three years. Happy caching, 6gowild.

This area is just too good not to have a cache, so we have left one. Until the last 20m this is definitely pushchair-friendly, probably wheelchair-friendly though there are bumps. Please take your time to enjoy this area.
The cache is a round plastic food container approximately 15cm in diameter, 5cm deep, covered in black tape.
The co-ordinates above lead you part way round the circuit. About 20m away you will see a large twin-trunked tree. The cache is hidden about a metre off the ground on the bench-side of the tree, surrounded by bracken and holly.
(We've done it like this as tree cover in July when we left the cache meant we couldn't get a good reading exactly at the spot).
While you are doing this cache, take advantage of the lake where you can swim or hire a canoe. Other facilities include horseriding, ice creams, toilets (traditional French variety), toddlers play area, sandy beach, poste de secours, and of course the trail around the lake which has wooden structures with various exercises (Circuit Rustiques d'Actités Physiques Aménagé - CRAPA - 1950m). The trail starts at N48.23.693 W001.10.202 The lake and beach are found at N48.23.657 W001.10.480
J'essaye en français. La cache est un récipient de nourriture en plastique circulaire approximativement 15 cm dans le diamètre, 5 cm profond, couvert dans la bande noire. De 20m loin vous verrez un grand arbre de jumeau-tronc. La cache est cachée d'un mètre du sol au banc-côté de l'arbre, entouré par la fougère et l'houx.
(Nous l'avons fait comme ci parce-que la couverture d'arbre en juillet quand nous sommes partis la cache a signifié que nous ne pourrait pas obtenir des bons co-ordinates exactement à l'endroit).
