our log entry at geocaching.com:

Having skipped 2 previous locations due to muggles we ended up at this little reserve, nice little hide away if not already ‘taken’ this is a great location to bring a picnic (wooden table/bench available).

Slippery slope to cache location almost had me wearing half the reserve! while Kathy stood laughing

Great location and hide
