Geocache Description:

This series is set in Ringhay Wood near Lotherton Hall and is based on classic children’s board games - a good chance to have a clear out and to make our first series!

The walk should take no more than 1 to 2 hours and there are 4 caches with clues leading to the bonus cache – Guess who? All of these caches are hidden off the main paths among the trees so good footwear is needed and beware that GPS accuracy will be affected once under the trees so pay attention to the clues.

Free parking can be found at: N 53° 48.931 W 001° 20.221

There is only enough parking for a few cars. You can also park at Lotherton Hall which currently costs £3.70. It takes about 20 mins to walk from the free parking to the wood, just follow the track.

Don’t forget to write down your clues to the bonus at each find.

Tumblin' Monkeys



Players drop plastic monkeys through the hole in the top of the clear plastic "tree". Several colored sticks are skewered through the tree trunk to keep the monkeys from dropping. Players roll a die and must remove a stick of the same color rolled. Be careful when choosing a stick. You must keep each monkey that drops during your turn. The player with the fewest monkeys when they've all dropped is the winner.

OO-OO-OOO-AAA-AAA-AAA let us monkey’s outta this silly box! Lots of Simian swaps to be found in this one.
