Geocache Description:

This is the 3rd in a series of 8 caches around East Midlands Airport Nature Trail.
If you are not doing the whole series it may be possible to find parking on minor side roads nearby. Please follow the map link for details of the trail access.
This area can be muddy. Please note there are ponds in this area, but they are out of bounds.

This is a series of 8 caches distributed around East Midlands Airport Nature Trail.
To do the whole series it is best to park in the carpark outside the Aeropark - please note it's opening times (Apr-Oct 0800-2200, Nov-Mar 0900-1700 and it's free). Parking is possible at some of the other locations but not all, please be aware this is a high security area.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PARK OR LEAVE YOUR CAR WHERE IT WILL PRESENT A SECRURITY RISK, YOU MAY BE QUESTIONED OR WORSE ARRESTED.

The Nature Trail is approximately 7 miles long, over a variety of surfaces. Some of the sections can be quite muddy at times. There are a wide variety of things to see en-route as the trail takes in all aspects of the airport.
Dotted around the trail are information boards relating to the wildlife in that area and local information.
Inside the first 6 caches is information you will need to de-code the 7th cache which will give you the location of the Mystery Cache. Each box is a plastic clip container containing a log book, clue, cache and a pencil. PLEASE ENSURE CACHES ARE NOT MOVED AS THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS ON THEIR PLACEMENT - THANKYOU.
