Geocache Description:


Layby at parking point good for 2 cars. Hopefully when you do caches here in the car if using vehicle you can get a space
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This cache involves finding the treasure of an unfortunate price that had to leave his country. In recent times in a country far away was a kingdom ruled by a royal family, the prince found love in one of the common people in the land and after a period of courting and wooing she was very much in love and the prince asked her to marry him. She said yes and the announcement was made to all the people of the land, just there was a problem. The queen just did not like the girl as she was not from aristocracy, so in the mothers eyes never good enough for her boy. The prince did not care and organised the wedding so was the event of the year for all the people of the land. When the big day arrived, the queen was there looking the part but really was not happy but it did not show. After about 2 months of the queen showing little interest in the new couple and would not go and see them in their royal residence the prince had had enough as it was bringing the happy down and causing arguments. One night after a long discussion they packed up what they could in some bags and suitcases including some of their jewels and diamonds and in the cover of darkness they got into the bentley car and drove away and just kept going across many country’s by boat. When they had had enough they found themselves in the UK and Oxfordshire. After settling down in Radley as a new couple (and never letting on the royal family they where from) the prince decided to hide the treasure but was prepared to give a bit away and people could swap what they had for it. After buying a computer from Oxford as they left with limited processions from their kingdom far away, they discovered the geocaching web site and after seeing how it works decided to use that but will make people work for the final treasure in the general area of where the decoding device is.

Treasure is at. N51 42.??? W001 1?.???

While the prince was walking about the woods setting the cache he was whistling various tunes with all but one he could name. The one tune he was whistling but could not place was really bothering him, no matter what he did that darned theme just would not go away, he couldn't remember where it came from but some feint clues were in his mind. He remembered a "musical magician" from a land very very far away and a pretty girl called Judy. She sang this tune so beautifully, it was one of his favourites. If only he could identify that tune he would be so happy he might even use it as a clue in his cache. Oh well he thought somebody might remember it and tell him.

Decoding device will not cope with being smacked around so carefull how the camo bag is removed. This cache needs a bit of thought before leaving or a web browsing device on mobile broadband out in the woods could be useful. Pen and paper also a good idea. Try and keep the plastic boxes hidden, but the first one does need doing well so it is not stolen, makes more sense when there!. Say when paper in final is getting low and will go and replace.

Can get back into the woods not 20m from the final cache hiding hole by walking along the road and over the style. A more direct easier way on the way, rather than trying to follow paths in the woods.

There is a jam jar wrapped in black tape hidden in bottom hole of tree about 138m away. (coordinents in envelope, written in the click and lock box decoding device is in), all info there to do if no smartphone or internet enable device with you.

Go and have a go. Not as hard as it may seem.

Here is the original cache I did Sept 2012. Was only 2 after I set mine up, now just down to mine. Same idea, different story. This had no cheat sheets or clues out there and no photo clues on the listing, think mine is easier as helpful things out there and on the listing.
