RIDGEWAY RUN - Bacombe Hill Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

nottheactor: Sadly, I have decided to archive this cache. The work in the area has now finished, but has left the cache location very exposed. The cache itself has been stolen at some point (not by the contractors) whilst the cache has been temporarily disabled, and I feel any replacement cache would not last long here.

I do hope to set a replacement in the area at some point if I can find somewhere suitable and get permission from the landowner.

Many thanks to all who visited and for your online logs and photos, and apologies to any intending future visitors.

Geocache Description:

The Ridgeway National Trail is an 85 mile long path, following a
prehistoric chalk ridge route. It runs from Ivinghoe Beacon near
Aylesbury to Overton Hill near Avebury. All sections can be walked
and others, listed as Bridleways, can be cycled and ridden too.
This series of caches was placed as a power trail to draw
responsible cachers to this amazing and ancient right of way.


The cache is hidden just off The Ridgeway, near to the start of this section of path, just to the West of Wendover. There is a fence containing some barbed wire that you may (or may not) need to go near to get to the cache, so please be careful. At some times of year there may be livestock near to the cache, so please exercise caution if this is the case.

When setting the cache, I got inconsistant readings on my GPS, the co-ords I have used are based on an average over several visits, I would welcome any comments regarding the accuracy of these co-ordinates.

If coming by car, see below for parking details. If using public transport, take a train or #50 bus to Wendover, then go to the Parking point (see below) for the start of the path you need, take care crossing the road near the corner (you'll see what I mean when you get there).



Many thanks to Buckinghamshire County Council for giving me permission to place this cache.

Well done to Sensei TSKC - First to Find.
