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...


A short offset multi cache near the village of Godshill in the New Forest (not its slightly more famous namesake on the Isle of Wight!). The walk is quite short, but there is a steep slope to negotiate, so care should be taken, hence the terrain rating.

You can park very close to the coordinates for stage 1, where you will be rewarded with a fine view.

At these coordinates:

Number of letters in the first name: A

Dates given 19BC to 19DE

The final cache can be found at

N 50 5(A-1).(D-1)BA W 001 4(A-B).(A-1)E(D-C)

We thought it best to start the descent at

N 50 5(A-1).(D-1)E(D-1) W 001 4(A-B).(D-E)D(A-1),

where there is also a great bouncy tree for smaller people!

This cache is placed according to the New Forest agreement, and night caching is not permitted.
