Geocache Description:

Short Description
The cache is not at the published co-ordinates, but is within 2 miles. You do not need to visit the given location unless you want to have a have bite to eat before retrieving this cache.

Long Description
This is a simple puzzle cache which requires a little research before it can be found.

The cache is placed so that the finder has lovely views out to sea and on a clear day the Isle of Wight Bear, Bournemouth and the Purbeck Hills are all visible. The area is very popular so some stealth may be required, especially on sunny days.

This is our first cache so we hope people enjoy it. It can be done as a cache and dash once the co-ordinates are calculated. We believe the location is wheelchair accessible, despite being off-road for the final few metres. Cache only has room for log so please bring pencil/pen.
