Geocache Description:

Screwtop cylinder cache. Notebook, pen a few tradeable items, room for more. Trackable included, please if possible replace if moved on. The co-ordinates mark the way in to Hazelton Common, great for walking and dog walking. Cache placed with the kind permission of Horndean Parish Council.



We placed this cache to celebrate the 150th anniversary of one of the first detective novels, The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. This was considered sensational at the time of publication and it remains one of our favourite books. Hopefully you will have fun finding the co-ordinates from our little quiz and, if you don't already know the story, you will want to read it!
