This series is prodominatly out in the rural country side. You may notice there are larger gaps where you will pass residential housing. The suggested parking for this series is down by the Village Sign where there is space for multiple cars, including the space on the green there (N52° 4.812' E000° 16.469' ... CB21 4PH ...) . There will be a short walk from there to reach cache #1. Use the Mid-Waypoint to find the public footpath.
