This cache is part of a series of seven caches placed at or near wells in the Chilterns. On the logs (of six of the seven caches), you will find a number – eg A=1, B=2 – which you can use to get the co-ordinates of a bonus cache.
You can park very close to all the wells, so most of the caches can be done as drive-bys. If you want to do them as a circuit, you may want to do them in roughly numerical order – starting at Binfield Heath, then Rotherfield Peppard, Gallowstree Common, Kidmore End, Ipsden, Stoke Row, Highmoor and then the bonus…
Some geology/history… Chalk is a very porous rock so a high percentage of rainwater just seeps through the cracks and fissures in the chalk down to the water table, rather than collecting in streams and rivers. In previous centuries, villages up in the Chilterns suffered from severe water shortages and relied on wells for their water supply – many communities didn’t get piped water until the mid-1900s. Maharajah’s Well in Stoke Row is almost certainly the best known well in the area, but there are many more, both beside roads and also in people’s back gardens. Most of these wells date from the mid to late 19th century. They are worth looking at!
Keeps Well in Binfield Heath is a pretty little brick structure right next to the road. It dates from the late 19th century. According to the info board nearby: "Keeps Well was established by Admiral Swinburne, the owner of Holmwood Farm from 1865-1879, as a local water supply which also served his vegetable garden behind the adjacent high brick and flint wall"... In around 1980/1981 it was accidentally knocked down by a tractor, but was subsequently rebuilt exactly as before.
You are looking for a micro/nano container. PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY AS YOU FIND IT, so that it's quite difficult to spot (unless you're really looking for it!) and therefore less likely to be muggled. Please don't remove the container - just remove/replace the log sheet in situ. Thanks!
