Geocache Description:

This cache is another chance to take in a local Buckinghamshire Oddity. Sandwiched between rural residences in the heart of Gerrards Cross lies Bulstrode Camp, a long forgotten Iron Age Hillfort with an extra twist to keep you entertained.

Park your car somewhere close to Camp Road which is private so do not attempt to stop there. After finding a place make your way down this lane until you reach a T-Junction, turn left and within a few feet you should spot an information sign reguarding the fort which is nowadays the local park for residents. Your far more likely to find families and dog walkers here enjoying the area, than any kind of army! Follow your GPS which will take you to the cache.

It is important to point out that digging is prohibited at this location and the cache is hidden slightly above ground to avoid any kind of erosion. After finding the treasure travel the short distance back to the grassy area and facing inwards turn left. Follow the edge of the field for a few metres & within seconds you should spot a random wall growing from atleast 2 of the trees. The name of this cache should now become clear?!? The only thoughts which I have located about them, suggest that they were possibly part of a victorian celebration or similar because of the presence of a brick with the date 1900 on it, unfortunatly this is now knocked down for whatever reason, probably just age but sad none the less. However it is still visible inbetween the two sections of crumbled wall in the first tree. Please don't climb it risking further damage, a better idea if you fancy a peek is by getting someone to give you a lift up like Pid did for me! Any further Ideas on a postcard please!

We hope you enjoy this little piece of history. Please take care replacing the cache so to avoid its plundering! Thanx, Dan & Pid...
