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...

This cache is placed close to one of the many village cricket pitches in Hampshire, at Swan Green, Lyndhurst, and you can often see matches being played here in the summer. At these times a little discretion may be required, but it should be quiet enough otherwise. Parking can be found at N50 52.370 W001 35.390. We often go walking/ running here, and it is always muddy, so boots or wellies are definitely recommended. If you carry on up this path over the hill for 0.4 miles, and then turn right, this makes a nice circular walk, with a very pleasant watering hole towards the end. This cache is placed according to the New Forest agreement, and night caching is not permitted.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
