AK7 - Around Kelmscott - The Church Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

RoobyDoo: I visited Kelmscott today, to check on two caches in the series which were recently DNF'd.
Sadly, for my series, there are a number of 'improvements' being carried out currently in and around the village, most of which are impacting the locations where my caches are.

The small woodland which was the home to Rattus, has been cleared as part of some major development of the car park (presumably to allow for higher numbers of visitors to the village).
Amazingly, Rattus was safe and well still, but I have brought him home with me, as it would only be a matter of time before he either ran away or was captured by muggles, clearing the woods.
You never know, Rattus may be released elsewhere, in a new location which is not under threat from humans...

Given the changes happening in the village, I'm archiving a number of the caches, as they are no longer viable, including this one.

The series on the whole has lasted over a Decade, so it has done well. Thanks for all who visited, but it's time to go now.

Geocache Description:


The last of seven caches placed 'Around Kelmscott'.
Using the parking co-ordinates which will take you to the centre of the village of Kelmscott, you can do this series in whichever way you wish. The seven caches are traditional caches, so there is no particular way you need to do them.
This is a walk of about 1.75 miles and is completely flat. There are some small bridges and kissing gates to overcome.
During Summer months, you will need to exercise stealth on most of the caches as this is a popular area for visitors, and especially folk using the nearby Thames, as they wend their way to the village.
This area is liable to flooding, being on the Thames, so, especially in Winter months, please wear appropriate footwear.
You may also need an extraction tool, so be prepared!
