Mr Benn is a character created by David McKee who appears in
several children's books, published from 1967, and an
animated television series of the same name transmitted by the
BBC in 1971 and 1972.
Mr Benn's adventures take on a similar pattern. Mr Benn, a
businessman wearing a black suit and bowler hat, leaves his house
at 52 Festive Road and visits a fancy-dress shop where he is
invited by the moustachioed, fez-wearing shopkeeper to try on a
particular outfit. He leaves the shop through a magic door at the
back of the changing room and enters a world appropriate to his
costume, where he has an adventure (which usually contains a moral)
before the shopkeeper re-appears, and the story comes to an end. Mr
Benn returns to his normal life as a businessman, but is left with
a small souvenir of his magical adventure. |

This is a circular set of caches based on the TV series. Each
cache gives a summary of the particular episode, you will need
information from these descriptions to find further caches. It is
best to complete them in order. Most caches also contain a 'Benn
number' this is needed to find the final cache. You don't need any
info other than what you find in the caches.
Some caches are large some are small, some contain pencils, some
don't so make sure you take a pencil and paper with you. The caches
vary in size and difficulty. The whole walk is nearly 3 miles, so
giving a bit of time for searching should take a couple of
hours.
You can easily cycle the route, push a pushchair and probably
even push a wheelchair along the route but not always to the exact
cache locations
All the caches are located on or very near the path and
bridleway which circles the golf course, sometimes you need to swap
between them. There is no need to encroach on the golf course at
any time.
Most caches will require patience and stealth to retrieve as
they are in public places - please look around carefully before
retrieving or replacing caches. Long trousers are recommended as
some caches sites have nettles or brambles in the vicinity.
