Geocache Description:

Royal Berkshire Travel Bug Hotel - a Traditional cache for Travel Bugs Only


The cache is a plastic waterproof container and has a Official GeoCaching.com Sticker on the top. The cache is intended only as a drop off OR pick up for Travel Bugs, please try and stick to that theme. No need for normal cache trading this makes more room for Bugs to fit.

The cache is hidden in Dinton Pastures Country Park, beside Hurst in Berkshire - There is easy accessible parking which has refreshments and Toilets (restrooms). Dinton pastures is a lovely walk with lots of small lakes which have lots of geese, ducks and swans - so take bread along to feed them

See link for more info on Dinton Pastures

WARNING : We placed this cache in winter time ... and subsequently found out that in summer there are LOTS and LOTS of NETTLES !!!

During Summer Do NOT think you can do this one in shorts, skirts, evening dress or the nude :-/ I'd give the terrain a 5+ in summer and 2 in winter due to the triffids. The route in from the "ONPX" is definately easier

Cache when placed contained
WaterProof Log Book
Two Pencils
2 * AA Batteries (just in case your GPS is going)
3 * Travel Bugs (Troo, Koda, Kenai)

All the original stuff has long gone .....
