Sulis Manoeuvre: A change of landowner has created access issues for this series, and it's time to call it a day. Most of the caches were placed on permissive paths which are no longer open to the public.

If you've already found the cache and haven't logged it yet, you are still welcome to do so.

Geocache Description:

A series of nine caches on a circular walk around the beautiful and little-visited Nottingham Hill (abbreviated to NottHill so it fits on your GPS) between Cheltenham and Winchcombe. The walk passes close to three previously existing caches on the hill, so you can easily bring your total finds to 12.

Parts of the hill can get muddy in wet weather but the terrain is otherwise quite benign and the walk is about two and a half miles in total. The route follows a circuit around the side of the hill so there are no steep climbs involved.

There is a good parking spot in Bushcombe Lane which usually has some space in it, and a few other small laybys can also be found dotted along the lane.

You are looking for a white plastic tub.

This cache is named in honour of the suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, as I realised that, coincidentally, I placed these caches on exactly the 100th anniversary of the 1913 Epsom Derby, where she stepped out onto the racecourse and collided with the king's horse as she tried to attach a Votes For Women banner to its bridle. This cache has a terrific view of Cheltenham racecourse, so it seemed like a good one to name after her.

Congratulations elliott150, FTF!
