Geocache Description:

This cache is another micro in the Otley Old Road series. The twin towers are architecturally iconic in Leeds. They consist of Cookridge Communication Tower and Tinshill Water Tower, ironically they are both mis-named, as Cookridge Communication Tower is in Holt Park, and Tinshill Water tower is in Cookridge!

This cache presents a park and grab opportunity, but you will need to either park at the nearby parade of shops, or down the little track that runs between the fire station and the Communication Tower.

Whilst this cache is very easy to find, it's difficulty is in the required stealth. This is an extremely busy part of Otley Road, and whilst it is not directly overlooked by houses, there is a lot of passing traffic, and the fire station next door. You will need to be strategic and stealthy. I would suggest a fake phone call at the cache site until you spot its likely location, before going to tie your shoe lace to investigate further.

The cache is a micro that contains only a log, which has been covered in camouflage tape, and hidden underneath three small stones. The precise location is contained in the hint. When you have signed the cache, please roll the log up tightly and place it in the lid before screwing the body of the cache back to the top. Please place it back under the stones just as you found it.
