Geocache Description:

The Hampshire Alphabet Chain is a series of caches, but with a twist - the difference being that the cacher who is First to Find each cache will be invited to hide the next cache in the series (if they wish).


If you are the first to find this cache please indicate in your log entry (in the cache and on the web page) if you are willing to hide the next in the series. If not then this "honour" will pass to the second finder, and so on....

The cacher who is First to Find will, if they accept the challenge, hide the next cache in the series, following the criteria below:


  • The cache name will be Hampshire Alphabet Chain - (the next letter alphabetically) is for ......
  • The cache must be somewhere in Hampshire.
  • The cache can be of any type / size / difficulty.
  • The cache location must be related to the appropriate letter of the alphabet, either by place name or some other relationship - this will probably be necessary for some of the more difficult letters...
  • The cache will include these instructions / rules to ensure that the chain keeps growing.

Let's see how quickly we can get through to Z...

We will list all caches in the series on this page (and subsequent owners can list them on their pages as well) - please contact us with the details when your caches are published.

This cache is a very simple offset multi - the coordinates are for Ashley church where you will need to find some information.

Please take care when parking in the village - there are no car parks, so please find somewhere appropriate and considerate to park.

The cache can be found at:

N51° 04.(A+2)(A-B)(B-4) W001° 27.A(B-5)(A-B)

A = The age of Charles Smith when he died in 1778
B = The age of Abraham Smith when he died in 1779



Here is a list of the subsequent caches in the series - each will open in a new window:
