Geocache Description:

This is the third of a series of 5 caches which are located near to 5 old pubs in Longwick. There were originally 6 pubs in the village. I suggest parking at the village hall, which is at N 51.44.239 W 000.51.727. You can then make a circular walk around the village stopping to look at all the old pubs, finally ending up back at your car.

The Sportsman Arms is now a garage. Due to it's prominent location on the Lower Icknield Way crossroads, the pub was a popular drinking spot. By 1931 it had become The Sportsman's garage & Motor Repairers. This cache is a small green metal keyring style canister. There is no need to go into the garage to find it. scan0010 ** Congratulations to Themannsoflongwick for being the first to find. **
