Warning

This multistage cache will take you on a pleasant walk around the village of Ufford. You firstly have to find two sets of clues, which take you to a microcache with the coordinates of the final cache site. The walk to the cache is just under a mile.

Parking is available at the village hall just past the church (N52° 07.233 E001° 21.394) or in front of the church where the first clues can be found (N52° 07.212 E001° 21.346).

Ufford is situated on the banks of the River Deben, approximately 3 miles from Woodbridge. It gets its name from the ford of Uffa, a Saxon chief. St Mary’s church was built in the 12th century. It contains a magnificent ornately carved font cover towering 18 feet high, which managed to survive the puritan reformation of 1643. It’s worth a visit inside to see.

At the front of the church get the following clues:

The church gates were erected in ABB4.
C = the number of louvered arches to the top window of the towers west face.
D = the number of holes in the stocks.

To complete the clues you now need to head up the lane from the church to:

N 52° 07.2BD E 001° 21.CAC.

At this structure get the remaining clues:

E = the distance to Upper Ufford + the distance to Loudham
F = the distance to Campsea Ashe
G = the distance to Ipswich – the distance to Bromeswell

Then continue along the lane in a northerly direction and take the footpath into the meadows to the microcache at:

N 52° 07.EEF E 001° 21.FGB

In here you will find the coordinates to the final cache. You are looking for a 3l lunchbox containing a selection of goodies and a camera - please take a picture.
Enjoy your meander through the meadows!

It's amazing how quickly the flood water disappears from the meadows. All should be OK again now, though probably still wet underfoot.

Currently the water meadows are very flooded, and the micro stage looks like it's under water too. Will re-enable as soon as the water subsides.

Nice walk and lots of goodies, but unfortunately no grandchildren with us this time to do swops.

We paid a quick visit to check on the cache and pick out a couple of geocoins. Dropped off another coin.
