Geocache Description:

A Milestone of Milestone caches!
A cache to mark my 500th cache find and an addition to Badchaps series of Z to A Milestone caches.
There are now an additional 8 caches along the route GC4DHV4, GC4DHVB The Summer lane cycle series GC4DHVP, GC4DHVR, GC4DHVT, GC4DHW3 GC4DHW7, GC4DHWC and the premium GC4DG7Z on a slight detour. There are also a number in Grittleton!

A multi cache starting at Badchaps Z to A milestone puzzle icon GC45XHN and visiting some of the lovely villages in the area. Best done by bicycle around country lanes roughly 7 miles in all.

For further information regarding milestones visit The milestone society website

A few additional caches can be gathered along the route. It can also be done by car with a short walk to the final but some of the additional ones will be harder to get.

Starting at the given coordinates, there is a sign to the right of the milestone showing 3 lines of text, the next location is

N51 31.abc where a = total number of S on sign, b = P's on sign and c = letters in top word.
W 002 12.def. def = the total of this sum.
Distance to Hyde park corner โ€“ distance to Sodbury x number of H on the sign (not the milestone).

This location is another Milestone. you will need information from this stone and the 5 bar gate to the left with a single word on it.
Next location N51 30. abc a=distance to xnmalford, b = distance to Bristol divided by 2, c = number of letters on gate.
W002 14.def d = pucklech โ€“ xnmalford, e =Bristol divided by 2, f =letter T's on sign on gate.

At this location you will need a milestone and information from a 3 way sign to the right.
N51 29.abc a=distance to Chippenham - littleton drew, b= distance to Burton divided by distance to Castle Combe, c= Sodbury
W 002 12. def = total of this sum H.P.C. + (chippenham x 4) + littleton drew then multiply the total by 2

Final is a regular size lock n lock camo'd box on a byway, room for plenty of trackables/swaps.

Congrats to Badchap on FTF!
