Geocache Description:

This cacahe only has room for a log book so bring your own pen. 


Best foot forward as we continue on this small circuit around Ye Olde Village of Rislepe or to use the modern spelling Ruislip. The village of Rislepe was first recorded in the domesday book and records how it was a lnd for "20 ploughs". As you amble up this residential road take a moment to think back through time when this was all fields and eventually farmland. In Domesday book it records just 53 people which grew to 1000 in 1790. 

Now cricket- did it originate as a game played by sailors in India or was it a game in Kent dating back to the 1780? Either way the Ickenham criclet club was established in 1959. Teh game of cricket is easily explained 

  • You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
  • Each man that's in the side that's in, goes out, and when he's out, he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out.
  • When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
  • Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
  • When both sides have been in and out including the not-outs, that's the end of the game.

Ahh as clear as mud! So good luck with this search!
