Geocache Description:


You are standing on Jockey Green.   Looking North are 3 cottages.   In the 17th Century this was the Horse and Jockey Inn, from which Jockey Green takes its name today.  Some of the original inn remains, including a large inglenook fireplace with bread oven and salt cupboard.

Maintaining the cottage has been a challenge…including finding wattle and daub.  We learned that if a piece of wood has been nailed up at an odd angle, it is there for a reason and best left alone!

It may look as though you are in the front garden - actually it's just outside. The CO lives here and both neighbours are aware of cachers anyway, so don't be put off!

The cache

This is the first cache we have placed.  It is a camo bottle. We have made it an easy find which can be done as a cache ‘n’ dash.  Please BYOP.

This is the start of a series of 9 caches (JG#01 - 09) that follows a favourite walk of our Geohound Barker around Great Bedwyn. 

A second longer loop starts at the heart of the village at JG#10 - JG#55 back here again. Of course, you can do them in any order you fancy - and most do!

Thanks to Ted’s Team for providing the inspiration to hide our first cache.

Also, look out for a black GTi with a discoverable TB decal on the side window. Indyknight's wheels.

Parking

You may park on the green itself, but please try not to churn it up if wet.  Please do not park on the gravel areas as these are residents parking spaces – most of which are muggles, except the CO! wink

Congratulations to Winter Foxes on being the F2F!
