This cache is hidden near to an historical moument detailing a
famous local incident told of in both history and fiction.
It's a white plastic box with an official GeoCache sticker, and
should be pretty easy to find with a little thought and perhaps the
aid of the clues. It did contain a card with the history of the Red
Fox, but unfortunately that was one of the things destroyed by
water damage. If anyone happens to find one before they go to the
cache please feel free to replace it!
The area around it has unfortunately been cleared of trees and so
it does not look as pretty as it did a few years ago. (My memory of
it is very Lord of the Rings, I'm afraid!) Since the cache was
first placed some regrowth of wild plants has taken place and so
it's not quite as much of a blasted heath as before! The cache is
pretty exposed, so please have a good look round to make sure that
no one is looking! Please also be careful not to disturb the area
too much; you don't have to go far off the path or risk life or
limb to get to it.
ALSO NOTE: If there are forestry operations going on -
and there are apparently some at this time - please follow any and
all safety instructions or restrictions posted, and bear in mind
that the roads are used by forestry vehicles. Safety
first!
If you're approaching by road there's a place to park cars at
N56 41.152 W5 13.055, and there's a nice picnic spot at N56 41.124
W5 13.221 . Recently a section of the National Cycle Route 78 has
opened up next to this cache. Hope you enjoy the views and the
history!
