Geocache Description:

The series was originally created by Waysters, now adopted by Orlando's Rat. Thank you, I hope I live up to your trust.

The Parish of Burpham is on an ancient Saxon site. This series is based around the village and in the surrounding countryside. Care should be taken as parts of the trail are along narrow country lanes. Wayster's friend, Julie, grew up in the village and has helped them create this series.

The suggested order for the caches in this series is: In 1770 Jack Upperton who lived in nearby Wepham village was convicted of stealing £120 from the Mail coach. After his hanging in Horsham Gaol, his body was tarred and hung in a metal cage in nearby Burpham New Down. This cage is believed to have been made by the farrier in Burpham. See 'Jack's End' GC1NPQE

The cache is a small clip-box containing a log book and pencil.
