Dorset and Hampshire get more fair days than almost anywhere else
in the UK. I'm setting this series of caches to take you to
historical sites and beautiful places to visit around the beaches
and the New Forest.
This multicache will take you past the Stour River, so do remember
to bring some food for the ducks. The walk is less than a mile long
and will probably take about an hour, more if you stop to admire
the sights.
STAGE 1:
Park at the first co-ordinates in the Bank Close Car Park, Sopers
Lane, which is a paid parking area.
STAGE 2:
Walk through the Druitt Gardens to the High Street for the first
clue. Find the plaque marking the site of the bookshop where
Gleeson White was born and lived as an author, editor and publisher
from 1852 - 18A8 = A
STAGE 3:
Across the road from the Clay Studio, where you'll get a really
good cream tea, there is a plaque on the wall. Medieval
Borough-owned property dating in parts from the 1Bth century =
B
STAGE 4:
Pass the stocks to the castle which guarded Christchurch. The keep
was demolished in 1C51 = C
STAGE 5:
Mrs Perkins had a fear of being buried alive. She was buried in a
mausoleum, and asked that her coffin not be screwed shut in case
she woke up. She died in 1D83 = D
Her wishes were carried out by her devoted husband who died in 180E
= E
STAGE 6:
From the mausoleum, head south past the fenced Garden of
Remembrance to the Priory grounds. Find the grave of Zachary Nash.
He was Curate and Vicar of the parish. He died on 17 November 1F83
= F.
STAGE 7:
Continue along the Priory pathway, heading in a westerly direction
to The Red House Museum. Open Tuesday to Saturday 10am to
5pm,
Sunday 2pm to 5pm, (last admission 4.30pm). There is a kissing gate
and a few steps to be negotiated, so perhaps buggy-pushers should
consider the long way round. Find a plaque on the wall
commemorating the Union Workhouse which remained in use until 18G5
= G.
FINAL STAGE:
N50 (A-5)(B+1).(C-6)(C-B)(Dx1)
W001 (D-B)(A-E).(F-1)(G-C)(A-B)
Now you've got the co-ordinates for the final cache.
When I set the cache, it contained goodies for kitties. Kids and
dogs get to play the geocaching game all the time, but cats usually
aren't invited along, so the swag is to spoil the home-bound
moggies.
