This is a multi cache in and around the beautiful village of Barrowden in Rutland. The final cache is half an hour's walk in the wonderful Welland Valley with a great view of the spectacular 86 span Harringworth viaduct. Enjoy!
The co-ordinates are for car parking in the centre of the village at the pond and pub.
From here it's an easy walk to find three micro-caches which are linked by a common feature. One of the stages takes you to the church. We have permission to use this area but please be sensitive and do not trample on the graves in your hunt for the cache. You don't need to, it is perfectly accessible without. You might like to visit the beautiful church while you are at it. It's usually open, or call in next door at The Rectory for the key.
You need to find all three micro-caches to get to the final cache. Each one contains code-words and information you need to solve the co-ordinates of the final cache. Please make a note of the code-words etc and leave them behind for other cachers to find.
The first micro-cache is at
N 52° 35.331 W 000° 35.877
It contains a code word and the value of X which you will need for ...
The second micro-cache is at
N52°35.575 W000°3X.045
It contains a code-word and the value of Y which you will need for...
The third is at
N52°35.312 W000°36.Y36
It contains the final code-word and instructions for what to do with all your code-words.
The final cache is hidden at
N52°ID.G(D+G)(B*R) W000° I(B+E).(I*I)R(E-R)
There is an alternative route to the cache if you are not up to the walk, and which you may be able access with a buggy but it's quite rutted, muddy and steep. Park a mile out of Barrowden on the Seaton Rd to get there this way. Enjoy!
