Geocache Description:

Continue along the track from 2. Go over the bridge. Cache is close to the water.

Cache is close to water so the usual precautions with Geo-kids apply. Surrounding fields contain livestock so dogs should be kept on leads. During the winter months the track can become very muddy and wet (even flooded) so wellies are advised. Care will be needed in retrieval of the cache to avoid damage to cache and contents. Please put back appropriately with the nail! White Ladies Aston is a small village tucked away in the Worcestershire countryside. It has had a long and checkered history, some of which has been recorded in the 'White Ladies Aston Cronicle' which also incorperated 'The Chuchill Chanticleer' Note: Whilst every effort has been made to include only those Press Cuttings known to be historically correct, the habits of Journalists over the years have not changed and minor inaccuracies may exist. Below is a selection from these records.. Dreadful Deed at Halesowen Popular 12 year old Kenelm, King of the Hwicci, who was a frequent visitor to Aston, has been murdered in Uffmoor Wood near Halesowen by his sister Quendryda. She then seized power. The King was hastily buried on the spot but so good was he in life that a Miracle Well immediately sprang up from his grave and a dove flew with a report of the crime to the Pope in Rome. The signs promoted investigation and the dreadful deed has been exposed. Last week his sister was miraculously blinded and then deposed. Spring 760 ________________________________________ St. Kenelm travels South Following the miraculous events surrounding his death, the Pope beatified King Kenelm and agreed to the transfer of his body to Gloucestershire for decent burial. Moving the saintly corpse so far away, however, did not suit Worcestershire men and unseemly efforts were made to seize the relic and return it to Halesowen. Details are obscure but the final attempt may have occurred on the Saltway near Egdon. It must have failed, since the Saint is now safely buried in Winchcombe. Summer 763 ________________________________________ Ecclesiastical Court set up Popular Saxon King Edgar has ordained an Ecclesiastical Court to be held as necessary in Low Hill House on the Saltway. Summer 964 This is on/close to a public right of way that is possible to drive with a 4x4 vehicle, however this is NOT advised due rough terrain, Potentially deep water, very limited places to turn around and large 'holes' (this is not a challange!). Cache is best tackled from the East. Parking for one vehicle is detailed below.
