Geocache Description:

This is the 6th in a series of caches based on the Solar System. Solar System #6 Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun (Solar System #1),  2.7km from the 1st cache, 778,500,000 km in reality. The remaining 7 (Venus, Mercury, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune) are placed at increasing intervals from 'The Sun' on theoretical orbits i.e not linear but at increasing distances in differing directions.


You are looking for a Jupiter shaped tin that is well hidden from view close to the junction of the two footpaths

The cache is close to the remains of the local church. The old church of Thundridge, (There was a chapel here in the time of Hugh de Grentmesnil 1086) situated in the valley, near the river Rib, about half a mile from the North Road, was demolished - with the exception of the tower  in 1853. Most of the stone from the old church was used to renovate Sacombe Church, which is why so little remains. The site was a popular picnic spot in Victorian days, but today it is overgrown - See more at: http://thundridge-wadesmill.co.uk/thundridge-village-home/thundridge-old-church/#sthash.ngOaFWKP.dpuf

The footpath can be a little muddy so make sure you wear appropriate footwear.

After finding the cache and signing the log. Please hide it well so that it cannot be seen from the path.
