This was my fifth cache today and second with sarahjones65. We'd just revisted ZX81 and as this was in the same area, we carried on further down the railway line to visit it. We never fail to be surprised by the landscapes we see whilst geocaching and today was no exception.
The area was partly wooded and partly peaty swamp land like much of the land on this side of the East Lancs Road. I can only describe some of the birch woodland areas as looking like a battlefield after the troops had gone.
Many of the trees are rotten and broken and lie in all sorts of positions and seem to me as if they have been the scene of a battle. The swampy areas in between contain brown peaty water and there is evidence of a lot of trees being planted in groups with protective plastic tubing at their bases.
The path meanders through these swampy areas and plantation groups alongside the railway line. Before long we had found the item mentioned in the hint but couldn't approach it due to a muggle loitering with a dog and stick.
After waiting for him to slowly wander off (by discussing some of the trees being planted here) we approached GZ and had found the cache fairly quickly.
We took a lanyard and a wooden geocoin and left a small action figure. Then we replaced it and went off happy to our last cache of the day.
