Geocache Description:


*** Updated 3rd January 2016 - now includes instructions on how to receive hints on the puzzles via the Hint section***

This cache is based on a number of word puzzles - designed to be easy enough not to require the internet, but challenging enough to provide some entertainment – either on your car journey or otherwise.

The final location of the cache is within easy striking distance of the M4. Best parking is slightly west of the cache site in a makeshift lay-by. There’s an easier turnaround point about 300m further up the road.
