Geocache Description:


This is the bonus cache of the Knighton Down Loop.  This is not the final location.  The walk will take you on a 6.5 mile walk around a beautiful part of the Oxfordshire Downland. This part of Oxfordshire is particularly rich in download birdlife. Each cache is named after one bird you might see as you walk around the loop.

There are 12 traditional caches (1 nano, 5 small, 3 regular, 2  large and 1 other) and two puzzles (1 small and 1 large).

 

Knighton Loop 1 - Yellowhammer Knighton Loop 6 - Curlew Knighton Loop 11 - Kestrel    
Knighton Loop 2 - Lapwing Knighton Loop 7 - Corn Bunting Knighton Loop 12  - Bullfinch    
Knighton Loop 3 - Skylark Knighton Loop 8 - Buzzard Knighton Loop - Bonus    
Knighton Loop 4 - Quail Knighton Loop 9  - Stonechat Knighton Loop - Puzzle    
Knighton Loop 5 - Long-eared Owl Knighton Loop 10  - Partridge      

You will need to read the Bonus details and  print off  the puzzle before you set off.

Knighton Loop - Bonus

In some of the logbooks of the Knighton Loop you will find letter clues. To find the bonus cache collect the clues A to F and workout the location.

 

A = B = C =
D = E = F =
N51 33.ABC      W1 35.DEF

 

The location is a rather melancholic place. A cottage used to stand here but it was burnt down several years ago. The rubble has mostly been removed leaving a rather nice garden that springs back into life each spring!

Please rehide the cache very carefully.
