Geocache Description:

A series of caches on a 5.5 mile circular walk from Colesbourne to Upper Coberley and back via Lower Cockleford.  The 2 hour walk climbs from the River Churn up to Norbury and loops around the Pinswell plantation named after the house nearby.  

The caches are a mixture of containers ranging from nano size to small cliplock box but do not contain pens.  You may need tweezers or similar to retrieve some of the logs.

Carrying on down the track you will pass a lonely house in the woods. Apparently this used to be a toll house on a short cut from Cheltenham to Colesbourne (see Poohsmate's great log for more history). You can turn left at the house and track round the lower side of the field if you want to return to Colesbourne without doing the rest of the walk.  

Going past the house the track rises a little as it passes through Mercombe Wood. Cache is around 10 metres off the main track.  Please be careful when retrieving and replacing so as not to cause any damage.
