Denis’s Long Walk is a circular route around the woodlands, footpaths and lanes around Sling, Ellwood and Little Drybrook. It gives the opportunity to pick up 7 traditional caches as well as the clues needed to solve this the 8th 'Multi-Cache' of the circuit. I have given waypoints for all the information, but the clues are pretty clear. Read them all before you head off on the walk. As an extra hint I have listed if the answers are found near to caches or on the walks between them. Happy hunting!
If you have gathered the hints and clues around the loop in numerical order to complete the mystery cache for ‘Ow Bist Denis?’ why not take advantage of the bench on the right hand side of the road into Sling close to the road junction by the first houses. You won’t be able to find the cache without having gathered the information that is close to the other cache sites in this circuit.
Should you see a gentleman of mature years pottering in the garden close by call out ‘Ow Bist Denis?’ if you want a chat with the man who inspired this series! Be careful though, my eldest brother lives here too and he won’t take too kindly if he’s mistaken for our Dad!
