How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A reasonably demanding circular walk in the Black Mountains. Expect to walk 12-13 miles with around 2000 feet of gradual ascent for which you will be rewarded with spectacular views.

Sid and Bob have invited you round for dinner, but they've lost some key items on the way to the table. Well, they are dogs after all. If you can find the items on your way you will be guided to the venue where a gourmet meal cache (ammo box) will be waiting for you.

There are three items to pick up along the way, though they are not conventional caching items. The first is located at the coordinates above. The route to this item is the only section which may need some planning as the rest of the route is along major paths. All items, including the final cache should be easy to locate as our philosophy is that your time should be spent walking and enjoying the views rather than searching. To this end spoilers of all items are available should you wish to use them. Each item is under/behind the GPSr in the spoilers.

You may require OS Explorer map 13, or if you prefer to print from Memory Map (or similar) the boundary waypoints are below.

A duplicate micro is now available in each location within 2' of the old one. If you have trouble reading any then this should make it easy for you.

Optional checksum calculation
Add together all the digits from the coordinates on an item and the least significant digit of the sum is the checksum.
i.e. N 51° 55.996 W 003° 08.268 = 5+1+5+5+9+9+6+0+0+3+0+8+2+6+8 = 67 Checksum = 7
Item 1 (N 51° 57.xxx W 003° 09.xxx) checksum = 0
Item 2 (N 51° 54.xxx W 003° 09.xxx) checksum = 3
Item 3 (N 51° 52.xxx W 003° 07.xxx) checksum = 0
