This is one of a series of geocaches that will take you on a short trail through fields and meadows around the pretty village of Hathern. The geocache and trail is located entirely on waymarked public footpaths. The trail is on flat ground, although you will need to climb over well-made styles and it can be muddy in places in wet weather. The geocache is a small clip-lock box containing log book. You will need to bring your own pen to record your log.
If you follow this small series you make a circular route that can start and finish at Hathern Park, Pasture Lane, Hathern. Please make sure that the cache is re-hidden carefuly. The geocaches in the Series are: No.1; "Starting-in-Style" (GC2E8Y8) No.2: "Rock-On" (GC2E938) No 3: "Back-on-Track" (GC2E94Q) No.4: "Old Man Willow" (GC2E96G) No.5: "Lonesome" (GC2EB9N) No.6: "Balded-Ash" (GC2EBAN) No.7: "Wicked Hathern" (GC2EJ8H) No.8: "Fibonacci Pattern" (GC33JBY) No.9: "Art Fry & Spencer Silver (GC33J0X) No.10 (replaced): "Inspired View" (GC3H5DK) Other geocaches may be added in due course If you follow this small series you can make a circular route that can start and finish at Hathern Park, Pasture lane, Hathern. For a short walk: from the Trailhead (Car Park) follow the Series in the order 1, 2, 3 and 4, then back to the Trailhead (Car Park). For a longer walk: from the Trailhead (Car Park) follow the Series in the order 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 4, then back to the Trailhead (Car Park). "Wicked Hathern" (no.7) is only a short distance along the road into the village from the Trailhead and could be added as a short detour either at the beggining or at the end of your walk. For a nice long walk you could combine, "Wicked Hathern" (No.7), "Fibonacci Pattern" (No.8) and "Art Fry & Spencer Silver" (No.9) with the others in the series in the order 1, 4, 6, 5, 3, 2, 8, 9, 7 "Wicked Hathern" and "Starting-in-Style" can be reached by wheelchair and strollers but other caches in the series are across rough fields and tracks, and/or involve climbing over styles that are not suitable for wheelchairs, and may be difficult or not accessible to pushairs/strollers. Why not walk down to the River Soar while doing this series and admire the pretty view of Normanton-on-Soar with its beautiful spired church across the other side of the river, and watch the narrow boats cruising on the river. You could also take in a couple of other nearby geocaches: "Zouch Rhymes with Scotch" (GC2135Y) and "Mind-your-manor" (GC2DT4F)
