Geocache Description:


The cache is a small camoflaged canister. Please take a pen for the log.

This “multi” involves a walk of about 2 miles around Emberton Country Park. It is the first in a series of Park n Cache walks I intend to cover over the forthcoming months. The walk is mainly on tarmac with a few short stretches on either hard core or cut grass and is buggy friendly. Please be aware of the nearby deep water if caching with children.

Car parking is available either in Emberton village (by the kerbside – please be considerate when parking), in and around Olney, i.e. the Market Square, or you can pay to park in Emberton Park itself (£3 in Winter, £5.50 in Summer , per car). The machine at the barrier does take "contactless" payments, as there isn’t always an attendant in the gatehouse.

There are a number of other caches in and around the park, namely:
GC23188 Hello Sailor!
GC1BVKG The Battle Of Olney Bridge
…so you might want to “cache n grab” as you go round!

I suggest you start the walk at the Park’s main entrance, although the waypoints can be completed in any order.
