We're not stumped just yet

Bluebell Woods - GC19EBT

A short car ride took us to the Lickey Hills Visitor Centre car park, and a very short walk from there took us to the cache. On the way, we spotted a tree which looked a little like it had been used as a maypole, with bunting connecting it to 12 other trees that surrounded it. A closer look told us that the "maypole" decoration on the centre tree was, in actuality, a collection of "free Tibet"-related goodwill messages, and these were repeated on the bunting flags. Nice, but a bloomin' odd thing to find at the back of Longbridge (or maybe not, considering the remainder of the car plant is now owned by the Chinese).

This cache was hidden in the hollow at the rear of a tree stump, partly obscured by a rock. This stump is right by one of the main paths, so muggle spotting was the order of the day. After retreiving the box, we had to pretend that we were looking at the large number of brightly-painted bird boxes that were attached to the trees in this part of the woods!

To better hide the cache, considering how near muggles regularly pass it, we covered the box with the rock and a clump of fern leaves.
