Geocache Description:


In fact it’s nowhere near John O’Groats (cottage), well it’s about a mile away – did that fool you?
This is a fairly simple multi cache that offers a flat pleasant ~3 mile walk in an area of King’s Forest, not often frequented by visitors.
It’s not suitable for pushchairs but all the forest is easy walking around here.
It should be suitable for dog walkers, cyclists, horse-riders or people with very energetic kids.
You can park in a couple of places – but the most obvious (and where you’ll find clues) can be found at West Stow N52,18.659 / E 000.38.418
The visitor centre has displays, a café, gift shop and toilets. The site has a reconstructed Anglo-Saxon village which you can visit, children’s play area and a nature walk.

First in the visitor centre, find when a Roman / British pottery used the site for a workshop, from 80 A.D. to 1VW A.D.

Marks of medieval ploughing were covered by wind blown sand around X + 350 A.D.

Now go to N52.18.X / E000.VW.255 (about a 1.3 mile walk) where you will find a number marked on a tree near a ‘depression’. The number is YZ.

The cache can be found after another mile walk at N52.19.466 E000.3Y.Z22

The cache is a medium sized ammo box containing:
Magic set
Model car
Loads of fridge magnets
Cassette
And other assorted goodies & log book

There is a clearing with an interesting feature near the cache and a rather strange shelter at N52.19.497 E 000.3Y.Z62 in case you need to spend the night !
Hope you enjoy this area
