Ashley Green Walkabout is a series of thirteen caches along a
walk, about 4.6 miles long, which starts in the Buckinghamshire
village of Ashley Green, crosses into Hertfordshire near
Berkhamsted, and then re-crosses back into Buckinghamshire to
finish. The terrain is hilly, but the footpaths are well defined
and navigation is easy. Good parking is available in Ashley Green
(see additional waypoint on cache 1) and cachers may be pleased to
learn that there is a nice village pub awaiting them at the end of
the trail.
This is a cheeky cache, placed where there was not really
anywhere suitable for a cache, but I didn't want you to have too
long a walk between caches. For obvious reasons, have a care for
muggles round here (and mad drivers!). After the cache, you have a
choice of routes to cache 5: either continue up along the road to
the sharp left hand bend in the road, and take the footpath to the
right (going this way you can take a brief diversion between this
cache and the next to do the nearby trad
Planning Permission Denied). The second route is to walk up the
path towards the farm and then take the footpath to the left in
front of the farm. This way is shorter but you may have to walk
through a field of dairy cows if you go this way (boviphobics take
note)
Please do not attempt to do this cache as a
driveby cache and dash : the road is a single track lane which
is used as a local rat run and there is nowhere suitable to stop,
and also the proximity to houses means that cars stopping here may
compromise the cache hide. Thanks
