Geocache Description:

Arrrrrrr me hearties!!!! This be a child-friendly trading cache in a great location - and don't forget to bring bread for the ducks!

PirateThis one is a simple letterbox cache with a bit of a twist for the kiddies.

If you're in a hurry, you salty sea dogs, then the co-ordinates at the top of this page will take you directly to the treasure. But if you have young 'uns in your party, or you're just a big kid yourself, you might like to take a different route....

The waypoint co-ordinates listed below (Map Start Point) will take you to a location close to the cache, from which point you can follow this authentic pirate's map to the treasure chest:

Have fun!

The 'treasure chest' itself is a whopping great 4 litre lock n lock box, which we have packed to the gills with pirate-themed swag to start with. It would be great if you could stick to the theme when you trade, but it's definitely not compulsory.

There is a special prize in there for the first to find: a hand-crafted chain maille bracelet, plus an FTF badge

For those of you not familiar with letterbox hybrid caches - please note that the rubber stamp and ink pad which are in the pencil case with the log book are NOT SWAG - and are NOT to be removed from the cache - thank you!

Other than the above, this cache behaves just like any other geocache. So please don't be put off from finding it if you aren't a letterboxing enthusiast.
