Comments:
The route to the cache is along a disused rail bed and the ground was quite soft and muddy in places after the recent rainfall.
Short, steep slope from the road and then a fairly flat walk towards GZ. Approx 120m from GZ the ground slopes away steeply again and this is quite slippery when wet.

Comments:
Entry onto disused rail bed via dirt track up short, steep slope.
Rail bed is pretty level - it would have to be afterall as at one point it would have carried railway lines ;)
It is quite muddy though in places - wellies are useful.
About 135m from the cache the path slopes down off the rail bed to the lower level naturally - no need to scramble down the side of the embankment.
From there the path to r GZ is fairly flat, across grass which is slightly boggy in places in wet weather.
GZ is on a steepish slope which is slippery in wet weather.
A skilled mountain biker could probably get here OK via this route. Anything else on wheels would probably struggle.
OTHER ROUTES ARE AVAILABLE.
