Geocache Description:

The coordinates are not for the cache itself but for a pub within half a mile of the cache site. Cache is a small clip-lock box hidden down a public footpath that is only really suitable for walking. Parking is available on roadside close to footpath. Please ensure it is replaced as given in the hint.

When our son, Alex, was about 6, a number of years ago now, he struggled to this general area with his plastic tent and said he wanted to go "vagabonding" and I thought this might be a good place for our first cache. He continued to have his adventuring spirit as a youngster inspired by his reading. To add a bit of fun a puzzle has been created in keeping with the story behind the cache.

Cache can be located at N50:5A:BCD, W001:0E:FGH
