Geocache Description:

The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy - a return leg

35mm pot.


The Return Leg are a few caches that cane be done to make a route back to save retracing your steps for the whole series.

Inspired by the radio series and books this series never quite knows how many there are, so there will be more than a trilogy and some will be hard to understand. An infinite improbability drive should not be required. They can be done individually or as a series. There are no codes to note down for a bonus cache.

Most of the return route is along pavements so take care with Geokids. There are playgroungs with swings etc nearby so possible rest for adults while small people play. There are no stiles on the route and frequent stops for refuelling or relief opportunities.

There are plenty of other caches either along the route or small detours away. A possible starting point would be Sarehole Mill (the car park is waymarked), if you go north and then come back south Hobbit Hide is well worth the effort. Alternatively, the North end of the series is fairly close to Small Heath Station, with Yardley Wood Station near the other end if you don’t fancy retracing your steps. The walk there and back is about 6 miles.

There are several roads to cross the more major ones have crossings but Brook Lane does not so take extra care here. As the series follows the river, care of mini cachers should be taken and if your dogs like swimming then you are likely to get wet.
