Geocache Description:

Please note that there is flowing water at the cache site and care should be taken if caching with children and animals.

The ground is flat but grassed and can get very muddy at times. It might be difficult to reach with a wheelchair/buggy.

If parking in the Rye car park, parking fees are in operation (check boards for information).

Please replace the cache carefully ensuring it's well hidden.

The Rye covers an area of more than 53 acres and is the second largest park in the district.

The park formed part of the grounds of Wycombe Abbey, once owned by the Carrington family, which is now an independent girls’ school. The Dyke on the Rye is a large stetch of open water which is fed by water from the Abbey School grounds.

At the western end there is a small cafe, boat hire and a children’s playground (suitable for older children however there is another play park situated on the Rye which is suitable for younger children). Follow the Dyke either along the footpath to the south or through the woods (paved) to the north and you’ll find the water spills over a waterfall and into a stream that flows out of the park towards the east (and home to this cache).

You are looking for a plastic clip lock box. At the time of placing it included:

£1 coin for the first to find
Logbook and pen
3 x bouncy ball
2 x mini coin holder/purse
1 x blue snake
1 x pink yo-yo
1 x glow in the dark dinosaur
1 x pack of cards

We’ve also placed our first two Travel Bugs in here to send them on their travels.

Happy Caching!
