The route takes in 7 play parks (6 really, but you’ll see what I mean!) a large green space and an ancient wood. All the playparks are rated and described by my son. There are many lovely picnic spots en route and also a very small detour to a nice pub for the adults!
The trail can be done in any direction and from any point, but I’ll be writing the directions starting from the first cache and going anti-clockwise. NB: A number of caches along this route have been archived in the last year so the number extra caches available may wax and wane!
Continue South on the Redway past the athletics track and under the hanging gardens of Babylon. Once on the South side of the dual carriageway turn West follow the Redway and turn South at the Redway intersection. Cross under the road to the West when you can and pick up:
Church Micro No 5473 Heelands MK
Follow the Redways around the church heading South-West until you come to playpark 6 at N 52 03.030 W 000 46.386.
Generic park with a good football/basketball court. Good for young children or if you have a football/basketball with you.

Head East on the Redway and follow it round a 90 degree bend and then down under the road and up into the edge of Linford Wood.
Time to look for another cache – this one is slightly larger and in a cammo bag.
(A final detour can be had to pick up 6 caches scattered throughout Linford Wood)
Once found return to the Redway and head East – drop down through the underpass and continue heading East at the T-junction at the bottom of the hill turn right and the left to take you to the last playpark of the day at: N52 03.266 W 000 45.106
A great park with an awesome slide and obstacle course, the zip line is a little slow and very uncomfortable but the swings are great and the big swing is great for groups. The turntable is cool but hard to get going.

Congratulations to mcaddy on FTF
NB: co-ords may be a little off as the trees play havoc - so you may have to widen your search and use the (updated) hint!
