Geocache Description:

This cache series is along the John Ray walk between Braintree and Witham. The whole route is 9 1/2 miles long and starts and ends at the train stations.
There is a total of 23 caches and also the route will pass other caches already placed by other members...

The caches do not have pens or pencils so please bring your own...

John Ray (29 November 1627 – 17 January 1705) was an English naturalist, sometimes referred to as the father of English natural history. Until 1670, he wrote his name as John Wray. From then on, he used 'Ray', after "having ascertained that such had been the practice of his family before him".

He published important works on botany, zoology, and natural theology. His classification of plants in his Historia Plantarum, was an important step towards modern taxonomy. Ray rejected the system of dichotomous division by which species were classified according to a pre-conceived, either/or type system, and instead classified plants according to similarities and differences that emerged from observation. Thus he advanced scientific empiricism against the deductive rationalism of the scholastics. He was the first to give a biological definition of the term species.

--- All caches (except No 13) are along the footpaths. If you follow this link you can get a map of the whole walk ---

Also this link will help you with train times: They are you usually hourly (visit link)

In the middle of the route there is a train station at White Notley. If you wish to split the walk this could be of use.

If you could favourite which cache location you liked the most that would be great!

Happy Caching!
