Simply Paul: Thanks to Kitey for collecting this one for me. For anyone interested, the final box was in Hunt Close. Cheers to everyone who looked for it, well done to those who found it and a sorry to anyone who didn't. Now off to the big ammo box in the sky...

Geocache Description:

My fifth 'Photo-cache' is another one for the more childish photographers amongst you.

Puerile Photo-cache No.5 - BOX IN THE BUSH (Oxon)

The big question is exactly *what* Crumps Butts? And is there any way to de-crump them?

Located in the bustling market town of Bicester, near junction 9 of the M40 in Oxfordshire, is the above sign. It's off Bell Lane (close, but no puerile cigar) which is at the end of Sheep Street. You might like StreetMap.co.uk to help you.

To log this cache properly you need to find the physical cache as well as take a photograph of the sign and post it with your log. If you can, please try to get yourself in the picture with your GPS. Your own interpretation of the sign (What exactly crumps butts? And is there any way of de-crumping them?) in the form of impromptu street theatre would be nice, but please, don't get arrested. :-D

The Photo-Cache location is around:
N51° 53.980 / W001° 09.100

To find the physical cache from here, locate the telephone number on the sign behind the street sign: Bicester ABCDCD

The Physical Cache location is:
N51° 53.(B+C)D(C+D) / W001° 09.A(A+B)(A+D)

To reach the physical cache (which originally contained 2x Candles, 1x Blank audio tape, 1x Party popper, 1x 'Hellfire Caves' & 1 x 'Chiltern Open Air Museum leaflet. Plus the usual: Cache notice, log book, pen) you will need to cross some busy streets (with care!) and enter (oo-er) a location with a really fitting name. This is no place for a spoonerism! Don't worry, you'll not have to walk very far. Especially since you can drive most of the way if you want to, but please be careful where you park, as it's a bit tight up here (f-narr). Also, don't hang about, as other cachers may be hard on your tail (f-narr, again).

While you're in the area, I suggest you try 2202's Bombs Away!!! (thanks to him for drawing my attention to Crumps Butts in the first place!) or my own well regarded MILITARY INTELLIGENCE (Bucks) cache. They're both within easy driving distance.
