The second 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.
The page for the first cache in the Gazeley loop gives suggested parking which 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: The key to finding this micro is to look for a safe container.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE, DO NOT FORGET TO COLLECT THE BONUS COORDS. DIRECTIONS TO THESE CAN BE FOUND ON THE BACK OF THE LOG BOOK
