Geocache Description:

This is a series of caches based on chapter titles from J.R.R Tolkiens book, The Hobbit. The full book title is “THE HOBBIT, OR, THERE AND BACK AGAIN”, and you will indeed have to go there and back again as it is a linear route. In two of the caches you will find North and West digits, which will give you the coordinates for the bonus cache.

After their run in with the Trolls Bilbo, Gandalf and the Dwarves take a short rest at Rivendell, the home of Elrond and the Elves. Sit here and have a short rest whilst signing the log, and hope there are no muggles abroad. The cache is an easy find, but the difficulty level is higher due to muggle activity.

There is no need to bushwack to any of the caches and please tread carefully to avoid the woodland flowers at various times of year. A big thank you to Steph Hefferan, Ranger in Charge of the Whitegate Way, for allowing the placement of these caches. Have fun and may your quest be as fruitful as Bilbo Baggins’.
