Cholesbury Capers (Bucks) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

The Hornet: I've decided to archive this as it's becoming less than popular. I'll rescue the cache and will re-instate it nearby as a new standalone cache. I'll also rescue the TB.

Geocache Description:

This is a multi-part cache. Parts are virtual, parts actual Tupperware boxes. It will require a bit of basic mathematical/computer knowledge so I suggest you brush up on your ones and zeros before you start!

It is based around the small Buckinghamshire village of Cholesbury, not far from the A41 main road. You should be able to complete it within the hour. It involves a (very) short drive in the middle but most of it is tackled on foot. It can get muddy in parts so wear suitable footwear. You will encounter nettles in one place so don’t wear shorts.

The co-ordinates given will take you to the small churchyard of St Mary’s. Parking is very limited here but there is plenty of space a few yards down the lane.

You will need to find two numbers here. First of all you should look for the grave of Margaret Maria, wife of Humphrey Dwight. At what age did she die? The two digits will give you AB.

Secondly you will need the phone number of Rev. David Burgess, the rector. From the area code you will need two more digits. It is 01CD4.

Put these into the co-ordinates: N 51 44.5AB W 0 37.5CD

This will take you on to the next part of the cache. Those of you who have completed Masher’s Thar she blows should have no trouble finding it.

Once there you will receive instructions on what to do next.

PLEASE take note of the parking instructions and do not attempt to drive down any lanes that are clearly not public roads. It has been reported that vehicles have been driven down private roads where only footpaths exist. This is not only illegal but entirely against the spirit of geocaching. Thanks.

Once you have found the cache why not celebrate with a drink and perhaps a meal in the Full Moon pub at N 51 45.206, W 0 38.760. It does a good range of real ales, bar snacks and restaurant meals.

Have fun.
