Geocache Description:

Another nice walk in the shire forest within Hobbit's Glen! Your quest will take you to a bridge, and there the search begins! Eye patch, cutlass and parrot not required!

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates...but close!


This is my homage to the first cache I ever found, GCJ7DN, the original "Walk Ye the Planks", which was less than a quarter mile from my house. It was muggled over two years ago, and I've been kicking around the idea of doing something like it ever since, so, here it is!

Here's the Puzzle:

On the original Walk Ye the Planks, how many planks did you count from the end of the footbridge to where the cache was hidden?

Now triple that number. That's the number of planks from the end of the bridge you count.

You are looking for a small green plastic box (aka: decon container) hidden on or around the long footpath bridge near the posted coordinates. The path is busy with walkers/joggers/bikers at various times during the day, so stealth (or at least a plausible cover story) will be needed. The trailhead for the path leading you to the cache is located off Wood Elves Way (see waypoint below). Stay on the paved path heading south until you reach the long, wooden footpath bridge.

PLEASE replace the cache container back exactly as it was found so the next cache may enjoy the challenge!

While you are in the neighborhood, check out my Hobbit's Hilltop Cache and Sam's Nature Walk. Enjoy your time in the woods!
