A very pleasant walk in the countryside to the west of Slaughterford. The route is just over 4 miles along footpaths, bridleways and an old coach road. There are some ascents & descents but nothing too difficult although the whole route is not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs as there are stiles and mud after rain. There are nine caches and if you collect numbers from each cache en-route there is a tenth bonus cache. Parking is available at a lay-by on the A420, this is a busy road, it is only a short walk to the first cache but do take care. You will need to cross the A420 twice but visibility is good at both points.
After finding the cache continue along the path with the river to your left. There is local beauty spot up ahead with benches if you fancy a break. Cross the river again here & head towards the lane. At the lane turn right & head up the hill.
Please note the cache has been replaced, co-ords will be updated. This has been taken from The Kosciows' log below - "Now this was not here and the actual cache was listed as unavailable for the time being. We always have spare caches on us but this time no spare magnetic one. So what we did was to hide a small tupperware box roughly 120feet in a 12 o'clock direction from weir, in a tree bole. New coords N51 27.827 W002 14.138 CO has been e-mailed and hopefully will make this cache live again. Found and replaced with Bussage Bog Hoppers. When replacing cache we did not know the letter and number to help find bonus so could not add to new cache. All I will say is that it really did not hinder us in finding the bonus. Photo I have uploaded are spoilers so CO and other cachers can find. CO can delete photos if they want." Many thanks to The Kosciows & the Bussage Bog Hoppers for replacing this one. IWe have left the spoiler photos for cachers to view.
Congratulations to the Black and Tabby Family for the FTF.
