The cache is a nice big sandwich box with plenty of room for
swag, travelbugs and geocoins. There was a disposable camera, which
seemed like a good idea at the time. The woods are rather
dark but some pictures came out not too bad:
The Selm Muir Wood belongs to and is managed by the Forestry
Commission. There are no formal footpaths, but there are sections
of forest track and some rough paths. A belt of mature Scots pine
surrounds younger Sitka spruce areas. There are also Birch, Rowan,
Willow and an old Beech hedge in the wood. It is a popular spot for
fishing and also for local photographers capturing damselflies and
other wildlife. Parts of the wood date from 1860, which is why
there is such a rich diversity of flora and fauna. There were loads
of toadstools of various kinds when we placed the cache.
