Series Description :
To acknowledge the reliance we Geocachers have on technology, a personal love of mine, and the WWW acronym of this series commemorating my move to the west of Witney, each one has been named after a particular Geocaching website that we find useful, interesting or informative.
Series Info:
A series of traditional caches in a walk approximately three miles long and which should take about two and a half hours to complete. There are twelve caches in this series in total, starting from and returning to the parking opposite the Canon Pool Service Station on Hailey Road where any refreshments needed before or after the walk can be found.
The series is almost entirely flat and uses fairly well marked Public Footpaths some of which you will see are ancient roads. Should be okay for dog cachers but there are a few styles you will have to carry your pet over and for that reason I’m afraid isn’t buggy or disability friendly. It is a great family walk out for little cachers too though and although there are some fields with horses in they showed no interest in us.
The route takes you into the villages and there are a couple of bits by the road but there are footpaths alongside at each point - please take care but it is safe.
This Cache:
www.letterboxing.org – Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining navigational skills and rubber stamp artistry in a charming "treasure hunt" style outdoor quest. A wide variety of adventures can be found to suit all ages and experience levels. This site is mainly for the US but you can find listings for 'Other International' which include Europe.
This is the seventh in the series and is a black magnetic micro with just a logbook. Could be done as a cache-and-dash too.
After this cache turn right along the main road, and after about 50 yards cross over to the signpost for the Footpath to Delly End and follow this. There is then a stone stile with a metal bar that is quite high and not dog friendly so you’ll need to feel strong to lift your dog over! This and the next three fields all had horses in when we visited so please use leads. There are a further three stiles, the first two, again, will need your dog lifting over but the last actually has a dog flap! You then come onto The Palladian Way, the Architectural Trail, and you should turn left but you need to find the cache here first.
