Geocache Description:


You are looking for an authentic ammo box. Please make sure that you hide it properly as you leave, and feel free to take a photo of yourself with the disposable camera inside - I'll try and keep it refreshed.

The cache is near the intersection of paths that are popular with walkers and cyclists. Choose your moment carefully!

The Royal Forest of Salcey is a magnificent ancient woodland offering excellent walking and opportunities to view an amazing range of wildlife. The forest is a remnant of the medieval royal hunting forest. Reminders of the past can still be found, with many miles of ancient woodbanks, building remains and ancient trees. The 'druids' or veteran oaks in Salcey are rare and amazing wildlife habitats, and some of the old oaks are believed to be over 500 years old. Salcey Forest is between Milton Keynes and Northampton, and located immediately to the east of the small village of Hartwell. Please be aware that there is now a car parking charge (£2) to use the main car park, although if you’re prepared to walk a bit further, you can certainly get in without needing to pay. During the holiday children can enjoy the play area, and there is a brilliant Tree Top Way (not far from this cache) which enables you to walk in the canopy of the forest.

There’s a fantastic 5 mile circular cycle ride around the forest if you feel so inclined, but the cache is not that far from the car park. It is also very close to an ancient oak tree where William Henry (the 6th Duke of Grafton) is said to have often rested on his way to and from Piddington Church.

Remember, please hide the box again properly as you go. Enjoy the walk!
