I have given all the car park locations as grid references and I suggest that you buy a map of the area (OS explorer 1:25,000 sheet 217 is the best) and plot them and the cache locations and chose a route before you start. The series can easily be done in a day and a nice place to start is from the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms
Please be careful on the series, the roads up to the top of the Long Mynd and down the other side are steep, single track and unguarded. DRIVE CAREFULLY. The caches all involve some rough and sometimes steep walking.
The 4 caches are:
This cache is the longest walk; it’s not too steep but about a 5 Km round trip. Watch out for the gliders they seem to come in to land really low.
Park on the verge by the entrance to the gliding club at grid SO 404 919
To get to the site you need to follow the “starboard way” permissive footpath around to the right of the gliding club. The views along this path are wonderful. Follow this path around the airfield until you come to 2 signposts - take the path to “Plowden” and on through a new wooden gate which marks the edge of the airfield. Here there is a National Trust sign for “Longmynd—Handless”. In about 100 yards there is a gate on your left and a track leading up the hill. Look for the small pond dug in the war to put out fires on the hill. The cache is further along the track and through another gate.
If you drive down the hill by the gliding club please BE CAREFUL, this road seems even steeper than the way up and there are less passing places!
