This cache series was originally set up by turtle140 and
adopted by artemisworks in Dec 2009. The original cache 3 had been
archived but we came up with a replacement, located approximately
25 feet away from the original hiding place, with a different clue
and a slightly higher difficulty level.
This is one of a series of nine caches located in Halfridge Wood
to the east of Nettlebed in South Oxfordshire. Parking is available
in either Catslip to the west of the loop or Bix to the east and it
may be possible to find a space to the north close to Valley End
Farm. Nearly all of the route is relatively flat as well as
dog-friendly there are a couple of stiles and the possibility of
livestock to negotiate between no’s 3 & 4. Going at a
leisurely pace, this series can be completed easily within 2
hours.
At the time of placing the trees were still in leaf and
reception was fairly poor so all the hides were kept nice and
simple. As the area is fairly popular with other walkers please
ensure that the cache is well hidden so that others can enjoy the
series.
