My original and first cache, the Parrot Sketch, has now been extended into a multi-part cache. The concept is simple. Find Parrot Sketch and Parrot Sketch 2. These finds can both be logged individually. Each microcache has a clue leading you to the location of Parrot Sketch 3. Thus Parrot Sketch 3 cannot be attempted without first visiting the other two caches and solving the very simple clue.
Nice thing is, you can log three separate finds after a straightforward 2.6km wander in the country down a straight track. This is Parrot Sketch 2.
Recommended parking is in the quiet lane at N51.24.788 W000.56.308. The walk to Parrot Sketch 2 is approximately 1.3km down a track which starts off as a path (muddy in parts during winter), then turns into an unmade road through the country (solid but with puddles after rain).
You will pass Parrot Sketch on the way – don’t forget to visit Parrot Sketch to collect the clue.
You are looking for a microcache, slightly larger than a 35mm film canister. It contains a log and very small pencil – no room for swaps. Nearby is an old ruined church. In the lid of the canister you will find the clue to Parrot Sketch 3 which is conveniently on the way back to the parking spot recommended above.
WARNING: Sometimes the route can get completely flooded after heavy rain and is impassible if the river rises - this doesnt happy often and it subsides quickly. If this happens keen walkers might want to consider parking near Arborfield Church - from here Parrot Sketch 2, and Parrot Sketch 3 are accessible but Parrot Sketch will be the wrong side of the flooded route, so go do that first using the parking instructions above.
Enjoy the walk.
