Geocache Description:

Smallish plastic container. BYOP. Muggles may be a problem. Parking abundant.

Cache number 4 inspired by a list of 100 must-read novels I discovered last year. It is not necessary to have read the book to find the cache. There is something about the location that makes me think of the novel.

The word ‘madding’ is defined as frenzied, particularly regarding crowds. The novel “Far From The Madding Crowd” by Thomas Hardy is a tale set in a different time and place – life is scheduled by the weather and agrarian needs and the rhythm of nature. It is very different from the frantic and fast-paced consumer-driven lives most of us lead today. Take a moment from your shopping spree to breathe and find this cache.
Please be sure to snap the lid shut to keep contents dry! May be tough to open for those with arthritic hands. Can hold small trade items.

Difficulty level due to muggle activity in the area.

Conrats to DinoGirlz on the FTF:)
