The Postman's Walk - Deer Traditional Cache
the gnome-ads: We have decided to archive this walk as the farm land is no longer so pretty and there are a lot of obstacles to negotiate. Thank you to the cachers who made nice comments.

The fourth cache on a pretty walk of just over 3 miles through Dorsington farmland. Please replace the caches carefully.
In days of old the postman used this route to deliver to local farms and Little Dorsington. The caches are named after wildlife you might see.
There are 8 caches with a bonus. Don’t forget to collect the bonus co-ords, and you will need to bring your own pen/pencil.
The fields might be muddy at times and you will possibly meet various farm animals on the way.
Please be careful with geokiddies and geohounds, and leave the gates as you find them.
The footpath is not marked for most of the walk, so a map would be useful, but if you don’t have one we have given directions where needed.
Parking for a couple of cars is available at N52 08.517 W001 48.424 but do not block the gateway!
Take the stony track then in the newly planted tree field follow the footpath along the brook on your right.
This field has been newly planted to form part of the Forest of Dennis, which is at present, the world’s largest privately planted deciduous forest. The Forest of Dennis was started in 2001 by local businessman Felix Dennis and will eventually cover thousands of acres.
Also in this area is the pond known as Final Pool. This used to be the main well for the local farms, and water would have been collected by horse and cart.
Congratulations FTF Wrighty (and Mrs)!
