Geocache Description:

Cache contains Log, pencil, sharpener & small items

Chalfont St. Giles, with its duck pond, 18th century cottages and ancient High Street is a picturesque village on the edge of the Chilterns, 25 miles from London.

THE Misbourne River broke a three-year dry spell in 2007 when water began to flow again through the upper reaches of Great Missenden.

The river runs from Missenden to Denham and feeds into the Colne. It had been dry since 2003; drought and the excessive removal of water from water company boreholes had caused the Misbourne to almost disappear along its upper stretch.

The river is a chalk stream with a porous bed; it needs a high water table to flow so that the water does not gradually drain away before having a chance to flow downstream.

The source of the Misbourne is widely thought to be a pond near Great Missenden.

Note: To avoid finding yourself on the wrong side of the fence, follow the Misbourne.
