CCCC 50: Jack Butland Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CKings: Sadly with Jack's injury I am going to cast him aside to make way for another...

People who fall into any of the following categories should feel partly responsible for this...

1) People whose logs are simply TFTC... especially when their DNF's are long diatribes
2) People who do not carry spare log sheets
3) People who moan about caches being missing which sends the owner on a long hike to discover it was there all along
4) People who do not log their fail to finds
5) People who log DNF's on occasions where a Note would be more appropriate

Geocache Description:

One of the Cheltenham Circular Caching Challenge, a series of in excess of 100 caches of a variety of terrains and difficulties set around the Cheltenham Circular Footpath set by a variety of Cheltenham’s cachers

The Cheltenham Circular Challenge takes place annually around Cheltenham's Circular Footpath
The 26-ish mile route is simply too good an opportunity so it now has over 100 caches, a challenge that could be done in a day or in sections.
To add to the fun of the distance and number of caches, various along the route have clues. The discovery of all of them will lead you to a puzzle cache somewhere in the Cheltenham urban area. There’s also a blend of terrain / difficulty ratings, container sizes and one each of the caching types to add to the fun. The trail starts at Cheltenham Race Course with #1, and the caches are numbered clockwise. But you could of course start and stop anywhere along the path.
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 with a number of things, including accomodation.


This one is named after Jack Butland, a loan player from Birmingham City during season 2011-12, but quite probably the only player to have been named in the full England squad in the same season as playing for Cheltenham Town. Jack, the current U21 goalkeeper, was called up to the England squad for the 2012 Euros and subsequently for the Team GB 2012 Olympic football squad, in which he played in all of Team GB's matches. On 15th August 2012, Jack earned his first England cap vs Italy in Berne, becoming only the second former CTFC player to have played for the full England side.
The cache is a camou 35mm pod.
