Geocache Description:

An easy multi-cache around the pretty village of Loose, near Maidstone. We expect it can be done in less than an hour. The walk to the cache itself can be muddy and passes through a field which sometimes contains cows. Oh, and Loose is pronounced ‘Looz’ not ‘Looce’. The Loose WI have heard all the jokes.

NOTE: The original cache was muggled and we have put the replacement in a slightly different place. The clues have been updated to reflect this.

The final cache is located at N51°14.ABC E0°30.XYZ. Replace ABCXYZ with the numbers found at the co-ordinates below.

Parking is available on the road outside the building at clue number one.
