This cache has nothing to do with Christmas but a lot to do
withSaint Nicholas (No not that one!!). This is a cache in and
around the lovely village of Saint Nicholas at Wade. Paths are
mainly grass with some being tarmac.
Parking for this cache can be found either in the village centre
although this is limited or in a small car park located at the
posted co-ordinates.
If you are parked in the car park then take the footpath back up
towards the village centre, keep following this until you come out
onto the main road. Head left towards the church where the clues
can be found.

church.
