This lovely old cache was cared for by The J J Noodle Fan Club from 2004 to 2014. Without them, it might never have survivied. Thanks for keeping it going.
This cache was placed by Mark "The Cat" Thompson, founder of geocacheuk.com who passed away on 12th September 2004. The cache will be maintained and is dedicated to his memory.
The words below are Mark's from his original cache listing text:
"An old childhood haunt of mine. I spent many a happy day on this hill some thirty years ago in my childhood. The hill is near the village of Churchdown in Gloucestershire. There are some wonderful views here and some nice woodland walks to be had. There is a wonderful 12th century church here as well it is worth a look round if you have the time."
