Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of 3 caches placed in a small coppice near to Whiteley suitable for families with young children. It is made up of 2 traditional caches (Berry Coppice #1 & #2) containing clues to find a 3rd Bonus Cache (Berry Coppice #3).p>


Mama Loompah's Special Cake Book

Mama Loompah likes to make cakes. She makes lots of different ones, fairy cakes, cup cakes and nice tasty sponge cakes. Lemon ones, vanilla ones, chocolate ones and even coffee ones. However, what Mama Loompah likes to do best is to make her friends their favourite cakes. To help her remember which cakes her friends like best she she writes them down in a special book.

One day Mama Loompah decided to invite all the squirrels of Whiteley woods to come to a special tea party. She asked little Robbie Robin who visits her garden to deliver the invitations to each of the squirrels. Robbie Robin flew off around Whiteley delivering the invitations to each of the squirrels. When he got back to Mama Loompah’s garden she gave him a nice big piece of his favourite peanut cake.

However, Robbie Robin had forgotten to deliver an invite to Nibblett the squirrel who lived in Berry Coppice. Nibblett heard all the other squirrels talking about the party and was very cross that Mama Loompah had not invited him. So Nibblett decided to stop all of the other squirrels having a nice time and stole Mama Loompah’s special cake book from her kitchen whilst she was out doing the shopping.

When Mama Loompah got home she went to look in her book to see what cakes she needed to make for the party but could not find it anywhere and was very upset. How was she going to be able to make all her friends favourite cakes if she couldn’t find her special book?

Can you help Mama Loompah find her special book?

Nibblett has hidden it somewhere in Berry Coppice. Luckily he is feeling very guilty about hiding it but he is too ashamed to go and tell Mama Loompah where it is hidden but he has left some clues so that you can help to find it. All you have to do is visit Berry Coppice 1 and Berry Coppice 2 and find the clues and then you will be able to find Berry Coppice 3 where Nibblett has hidden Mama Loompah’s book.

To get the most from your visit to this coppice I suggest that you follow a circular route starting from this cache then taking the small track going off to the right from the Berry Coppice sign, this track is hard to distinguish in the Autumn when covered in leaves but there is one there and heads off between 2 holly bushes. Follow this path down to a small wooden bridge then your GPS should guide you nicely (via the path!) to Berry Coppice #2.
