BH#9-Mary Carter Temple Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bobo Frett: I'm afraid that The Brocklesby Estate have made the decision to keep the Mausoleum Woods closed to the public (due to vandalism and litter increase over the last year) and have requesed the caches be removed.
I'd like to thank them for the opportunity to bring cachers to the estate.

We may yet have the opportunity to host events in the future, fingers crossed.

Thanks to all who visited and for all the great feedback and favourite points.

BH#9-Mausoleum Woods

As you continue on this path you will come to another of the Brocklesby Estate follies, the Mary Carter Temple. A nice place to stop and admire the flatlands of Lincolnshire and perhaps have MORE lunch.

This is a three stage multi. The cache is NOT hidden on or near the follies.  This multi will lead you to the wood elves house AND then, slightly further round, the hermit's cave.  THERE ARE TWO FOLLIES HERE. Once you've found the elves house then look for the cave. We know elves are smaller but we could not think of another appropriate friendly faeirie creature, so elves it is! The follies are well worth an explore.

We wanted to bring the walk up here so you can enjoy what we enjoy
