How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

A walk in the new Forest, you need to collect all the clues in order to work out the final co-ordinates. The cache is not at the listed Co-ordinates.Suggested parking at N 50° 51.857 W 001° 26.660 Please note this is a ideal walk for giving those geo hounds a long run and it is a lovely walk but quite a long one. You can alternatively collect the clues over a few visits. You are looking for a small click lock container.

To find the location of the cache you must answer 6 questions at the given waypoints, (which are all added as additional waypoints below), so you can work out the best route to take in advance. However if you do them in order you will do a circular walk. There are no waypoints in the valley as it can become boggy, but the path around it is spectacular we think.

Please note this is a walk we loved to do with Hooch our Labrador cross Border Collie who this cache is in memory of. So this is ideal for giving those geo hounds a long run and for those of us who like a lovely walk but it is quite a long one.
Cache placed in accordance with the GAGB New Forest guidelines. Please note there is no night caching allowed in the New Forest".
