Geocache Description:

First in my Malt Hill series, this cache is hidden along Osbourne Lane where a footpath branches off to the right.

The cache is held in place, please therefore unscrew and remove the log leaving the tube attached to its host.

THE SERIES

Around Malt Hill is a series of 10 caches over a distance of 13km on foot or 12km by bike. Suggested parking at the start of the series is at Warfield Memorial Ground off Osbourne Lane however there are other parking alternatives around the circuit the best of which are shown on the attached map. As well as these 10 caches the route also takes you directly past 7 other traditional caches and close to many more to the north of the loop including a couple of Multi’s.

DIRECTIONS (to/from)

Simply head north from the car park at Warfield Memorial Ground up Osbourne Lane.

From the cache, if you are on foot then you would be best to take the footpath to the right which takes you up towards Warfield Church then through the fields to Frost Folly. If you are on a bike then keep left after logging this cache and head up hill turning first left then right towards Frost Folly.
