The first of three
traditional caches hidden along the Three Churchs Walk between
Gazeley and Dalham.
At each of these traditional
caches there is an opportunity to search for a
micro.
Find all three micro caches,
and you will be able to pick up a bonus cache on the way back to
Gazeley.
Parking at the suggested co-ordinates
allows you to quickly pick up the nearby Church
Micro, before heading off along the Three Churches Walk, and is
also handily placed for the pub for when you return. A map is
situated just outside the church walls with the route marked, if
you need to check up again before heading off. You can either walk
the entire route, or divert back towards Gazeley after visiting
Dalham. This shorter loop uses the road, but it is not at all a
busy road - and you will hear a car long before you see it.
Furthermore, most of the time you will be able to walk beside the
road, rather than on the road.
When Cherish
and I walked the Gazeley Loop with Ruby (four weeks old) to check
the co-ordinates, it took us around an hour and three quarters. We
were walking at a fairly sedate pace, and messed about a bit at
each cache location, so this is probably about the time you should
set aside to do the loop.
Things to
consider:
The co-ordinates for all the
caches in this loop have been averaged, due to tree cover.
They may not be perfect.
The walk is very popular in
the summer, so please be careful not to attract attention of the
many muggles you may meet.
Apart from the bonus cache
(which is an ammo can), the caches are small lock and lock
containers.
Apart from the bonus cache,
the caches have been placed very close to the footpath in the most
obvious place (so no hint).
Apart from the bonus cache,
the hint is the same and should give you a clue what to look for in
each instance.
The Micro: You are looking for
a micro container with a nano aperture, and tweezers (or similar)
will be helpful to retrieve the bonus
co-ordinates.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE, DO NOT FORGET TO HUNT FOR THE BONUS COORDS. DIRECTIONS TO THESE ARE LOCATED ON TE BACK OF THE LOG BOOK.
