Devised by Cheltenham Borough Council, the Cheltenham Circular Walk follows a route of approx 26 miles and gives wonderful views of the Cotswolds escarpment. The walk starts and ends at Pittville Park and passes Cheltenham Racecourse and Dowdeswell Reservoir. .
The Cheltenham Circular Caching Challenge of more than 100 caches follows this walk. It starts at Cheltenham Race Course with #1, and the caches are numbered clockwise. But you could of course start and stop anywhere along the route.
If you can't manage it in a day, then why not stay around the area. Cheltenham Borough Council have a tourist information office that will help you.
As you work your way round the Cheltenham Circular Caching Challenge, don't forget to collect numbers for the bonus cache.
Please be careful not to be seen retrieving or replacing this cache as this is a busy footpath. For this cache, you are looking for a camoflaged hollow tube container (open at both ends) along the footpath running from Bouncer's Lane to the 'Famous Cheltonians, Brian Jones' cache. The outside container is a regular size, but the cache container is micro and not large enough for swaps or regular coins. The next cache in the series is 013, Prestbury Sign Again which is further on along the same path.
Happy caching!
