Geocache Description:

A puzzle geocache, part of the Blickling Park trail. As is usual with puzzle geocaches, the given coordinates are NOT those for the geocache - in this case they are for the end of an avenue of trees.

The log is made of waterproof 'paper' which works best with ball point pen; BYOP.

Blickling is a National Trust property consisting of a grand hall and extensive parklands. The parklands date back to the 12th century as a deer park and the present hall to the early 17th century. Blickling Hall and its gardens are extremely attractive and well worth visiting.

Picture of Blickling Hall, a red-bricked Jacobean mansion with a seven bay front and corner turrets; a painted, timber-clad clock tower; gravel and lawn forecourt flanked by service wings and ancient yew hedges.

With the kind permission of the NT, this series of geocaches has been set in the parklands, with the route taking you round the lake and in front of the hall (arguably its most impressive view); part of the walk is on the Weavers Way.

All the car parks at Blickling are now pay and display but are free for NT members.

The trail paths are mostly well established but some can be muddy. There are often sheep and cattle grazing in the park - leaflets about walking with livestock are normally available at relevant places. Take care to avoid the electric fences throughout - you will have no need to cross an electric fence to get to a cache.

With other pieces of information from this listing, the message below will give you what you need but, as you can see, the alphabet is mixed.
