Geocache Description:

This series of three caches take you through Pishiobury Park and along the River Stort. The coordinates above are for the car park/entrance to Pishiobury Park.

Start by looking for Sawbo-Pishiobury1, which will then lead you to Sawbo-Pishiobury2, which will then lead you to the final cache, Sawbo-Beckingham.

 

All three caches are along the Pishiobury Park Circular Walk which is about 3 miles in length and should take 1-1.5hours at a steady pace. The park has a few inclines and the path consists of cut grass and narrow board walks, and a trodden dirt 'tow path' along the river which will be muddy in wet weather.

If you don't want to do the entire circular walk you can miss out the section along the river and access both caches by staying on the west side of the river and going through the park. This is a lot quicker as it's more direct.

Here is a link to a plan of the park and the circular walk (walk 1)

**************************************************************************

The coordinates of the 'Sawbo-Pishiobury1' cache are as follows: N51°4a.2b1 E0°0c.d27

There is an information board titled "Pishiobury Park Circular Walk" located at N 51° 48.311 E 000° 09.000. The cache is within half a mile of this location.

Use this information board to work out the values of 'a', 'b', 'c' and 'd'

The values are worked out as follows:

 

'a':

Under the section titled "Pishiobury House" find the following text:

"...and was rebuilt on the same site by Jeremiah Miles between 17?2 and..."

The missing number (?) in the date is the value of 'a'

 

'b':

How many points of interest in total are described on the board?

 

'c':

For the "River Stort" point of interest find the following text:

 "In 176?, 15 locks were built..."

The missing number (?) in the date is the value of 'c'

 

'd':

How many butterflies are pictured above the "Causewayed Enclosure" point of interest description?

 

 

Once you have located the cache, take a note of the code written on the inside of the box as this will lead you to Sawbo-Pisiobury2.
