Geocache Description:

This is the third cache in the Mamma Mia ? series. Please take a look at GC1JJ3Q before starting this cache.

Mamma Mia 3 is a simple 2 stage multi cache. The coordinates above are for the first stage, Part 3A.


Part 3A is a 1.2 litre lock pot, containing coordinates – H and E for Mamma Mia ? (and also the coordinates/extra encrypted clue to take you on to Part 3B).
We recommend you take disposable gloves to retrieve Part 2A!

Part 3B is a 240 ml round lock pot, containing 2 coordinates – G and I for Mamma Mia ?

This cache will take you around 20-30 minutes to complete from Part B of Mamma Mia 2 through to Part 3b.

We visited serveral times to improve the accuracy of the coordinates but found the trees affected the GPS signal. However, these should still prove to be easy finds, particularly with the clues.

As with the other caches in this series, you do not need to leave the bridleway.


TERRAIN


The route is over a bridleway and is generally good. However,we’ve rated the terrain as 2.5 due to the mud in winter/wet weather– it can take your wellies off! You have been warned!

PARKING

We recommend this series be undertaken in a single walk, parking in a lay-by in Old Church Lane (N 51° 38.660 E 000°22.925). However, the series can be undertaken in stages and if you wish to undertake this as an individual cache, we suggest you park around N51° 39.498 E 000°23.130.

ROUTE

The route continues the adventures of Mia out on an early morning hack. We hope mini-cachers enjoy the tale:-


…..Mia and her rider are reunited and start their ride off again. As they leave the bridleway they turn East and go a few yards down the road. Mia thinks they are on their way home so is delighted when they turn off the road to explore another bridleway in the direction of Ingatestone….


They approach a wood and wonder if they can go in to explore - when there is a sudden burst of gunfire – and some very angry pheasants come flapping out! ....Time to gallop on round the edge of the woods!

….. they finally near the end of the bridleway when her rider notices Mia is walking strangely. Oh, no! Mia has cast a shoe. They’ll have to turn back and find it for the farrier!


To find Mia’s shoe, (and the second cache!), you will need to find the first cache pot!
