Geocache Description:

This Cache was put together by my son who loves Geocaching, he decided we needed to make our own with his favourite subject and TV program in mind, This has been placed down a Bridle Path leading to Watlington.

Chinnors Icknield Way Bridle Path is part of an ancient trackway in southern England, located at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and runs through Kiln Lakes, The Chiltern Hills Is An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with wildlife interest. It incorporates a wide range of landscapes shaped by its geology and history. The Chilterns geological story began c. 100 million years ago when sea levels rose more than 300m due to global warming. The chalky muds deposited on the sea floor eventually became today’s chalk.

Kiln Lakes site Was Chinnors Cement Quarry, chalk had been extracted for cement making from this quarry since 1908. At the height of production the quarry manufactured 5,600 tonnes per week. It closed in 1999, its life extended by a sudden need for more cement for the Channel Tunnel! In fact, the boring machine was tested here before tackling the tunnel. Cement requires a vast amount of Lower Chalk which, unlike the Middle and Upper Chalk, is not hard, but is a soft chalky clay. Extraction leaves large pits that fill with rainwater which looks blue due to fine particles in suspension. (Caution! DO NOT enter the quarries: they are dangerous and privately owned).

This is a regular size cache, and when hidden included the following goodies:-

FTF (First to Find) Pin Badge
GeoCache Stash Card
Logbook and pencil
Dr Who (Matt Smith) Mini Figure
Amy Pond Mini Figure
10 Rare Dr Who Monster Invasion Cards
5 Packs of Dr Who Stickers
The Tardis Travelbug

Please sign the logbook, take care to seal the lid fully, put back in the same location after your visit thanks.

After completing the cache, be sure to check out Lotte's Kitchen, Celebrity chef Lotte Duncan's Cafe, I can recommend the Weekend Big Breakfast, Lottes Kitchen is down the road from the cache in Keen's Lane.

We Hope You Enjoy this cache, and enjoy the area. Good Luck, The Fruits
