Geocache Description:

The first of a short series of caches forming a short circular walk (approximately 4 miles) starting from Seven Springs.

The route proceeds along the bridleway from Seven Springs, circles around Chatcombe Woods and joins up with the Cheltenham Circular Walk near to CCCC 44: Dave Bird before heading back towards Seven Springs via Wistley Plantation and Wistley Grove.

Whilst for the most part the route is bridleway and lanes you will have to walk alongside the busy A436 to get from the suggested parking to the start of the loop. You may want to consider crossing over the A435 towards Hartley Lane and then crossing back to the start using the pedestrian crossing since there is a central island making things a little safer. The A436 is crossed again approximately half way round the loop. Please be very careful near these two roads especially if you have young children with you.

The three brothers stand tall and proud next to the wall just off the left hand side of the footpath (with the road behind you). A 450ml clip top box in camouflage bag is hidden in the feet of one of the brothers. A little stealth is required as you are still visible from the road. Cache contains logbook, pencil, pencil sharpener and FTF tag.
