Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series following the old Stourport railway line between what “was” Stourport Station and the junction with the mainline at the “Black Bridge”. You may wish to do “Oh Doctor Beeching” at the same time [GC1Q0M1].

Pay attention, or you will get lost!
1. You are looking for a Millfields sign, upon which you will find an aluminium strip some 70mm x 20mm. On this strip is your next location; follow the path behind the sign and you are on your way.
2. When you arrive at the tunnel entrance which dates from 1860, a big deep breath and off you go; look for the sky half way, round the bend and out into another world!
3. Turn 180 degrees to the right and climb to the top of the steps.
4. Just as you reach the top of the steps, the post on the right has your next location on an aluminium strip easily visible.
5. Lovely walk, your next location is a telegraph post right by the side of the line. Look hard, it’s big enough to give a hug and taller than the trees! The strip visible (at eye height) standing on the disused line (where the track was) will give you the location of the cache.
6. Look hard, the cache is sunken in the ground just next to the path in the long grass, in the middle of nowhere with only a nearby large tree for company. How peaceful.
7. This is a real treat. Joel, William and Theo have worked hard to find something very special for the cache.
8. It contains several Umpa-Lumpa stones, as you will know these are the black stones found by the famous Umpa-Lumpa tribe, they are very rare indeed and tradition suggests they are only to be found in the depths of the secret Umpa-Lumpa mine in China.
9. The boys have also put a few Dilithium Crystals in the cache. These were very hard to come by and are not generally available on planet Earth. As you will know these are normally to be found in the engines of the Star Ship Enterprise, more specifically in the matter and antimatter warp core.
10. The boys cannot wait to see what you leave in place of these little gems!
11. Note: the cache has moved slightly over the years, and you will now find it in the place where the Badger lived in Wind in the Willows. (it is 10 paces from your end location)
