5th and last cache visited today with sarahjones65. We parked just off the road at the entrance to the public footpath. At the start of the path there is a quite spectacular treehouse in a garden on the right of the path. The path leads on through a gate and along the hedge boundary of a field. The going is very muddy and slippy underfoot in February - my least favourite terrain.
A quick look at the GPS and we realised we needed to turn left at the next hedge. So on we went across a little brook and up to the gate. After going through the gate we were faced with a crossroads (well cross trails really). Sarah quickly spotted the three short tree stumps and we felt we were in the right area.
But where was the cache? Someone had previously logged that they had never seen one attached like that before. Was it another magnetic cache? Or was it tied to something unusual? After looking around the stumps Sarah eventually saw a peice of string and on tugging it found the small green metallic cache.
On unscrewing the lid we found the contents to be a very wet logbook and nothing else. We did manage to sign it with a biro, but I'm not sure how long this one will last. Nevertheless we were pleased to have ended a good day's caching with five successes and went home happy to watch the rugby union internationals.
