The Seven Dwarves 1
Park beside the road near Jarn Mound. (See waypoints).The entrance is at the junction of Jarn Way and Old Boar’s Hill. Climb the mound and enjoy the view for a few minutes. Then descend and turn left passing between the benches and past the monument stone towards Cache 1.
This is a child-friendly, circular, 4 mile walk with eight caches, in the beautiful countryside around Boar’s Hill with wonderful views over the “dreaming spires” of Oxford. It is all on (mostly easy) public footpaths/bridleways but some are narrow and can get muddy. It takes in woodland and open fields with lots of wildlife to see. There are a few steep sections. It is a good dog walking or running route, but not all sections are suitable for wheelchair access. It starts and finishes near Jarn Mound and Matthew Arnold Field where parking is available (see waypoints).
The walk comprises 7 traditional caches, each of which has a logbook displaying a picture of one of the Seven Dwarves (from Disney’s “Snow White”). Make a note of which Dwarf is in which cache (numbered 1-7). When you’ve finished the walk, sit in Matthew Arnold Field, enjoy the views and use this to calculate the location of the bonus “Snow White” cache.
The co-ordinates for the bonus “Snow White” cache are not of it’s actual location but are of a nearby pleasant spot to sit and work out it’s real location.
Please re-seal and re-hide all the caches well once you’ve signed the log and swapped any treasures.
They are all clip-top camouflages boxes close to the path.
