Geocache Description:

The Kilburn – Horsley Woodhouse Circuit (KHWC) is a circular walk of around 4.75 miles, mixing an assortment of caches including nano, micro, small, regular, multi and even a letterbox hybrid cache.

There are 21 caches in total, including the bonus for which you will need to collect clues from each of the other caches to be able to work out the final coordinates. Please be aware that some of this circuit can be VERY muddy. 


From the previous cache, #19, you can either follow the route off to the left of the footpath through the Pit Fields, which some find to be an unpleasant area (litter, dog poo etc), or you can head back to the road, turn right, follow the road and then turn right again near the schools on The Flat.

Another area that can be very muddy after wet weather. Plenty of holly around. The cache is a 1 litre clip top container big enough for swaps and trackables. When placed it contained swaps, log book, pencil etc. Should be an easy find but recent tree felling makes reaching it harder than it originally was.

Don't forget to collect the clue on the top of the log for the bonus cache and please take your own pen/pencil.

From this cache head back to the carpark waypoint where you can work out the coordinates for the bonus cache. Good luck. On the way back you will pass Kilburn War Memorial, another waypoint listed on Waymarking.com, a groundspeak site. A link to the Waymarking page is included for those who might want to record a visit to the waypoint.
