Continue up the track from #5, but before you reach the lane turn right up a steep narrow footpath. This path can be overgrown in the summer, and muddy and slippery in the winter. If you are approaching the cache from #7, the start of the footpath is easily missed as it is along the driveway of a cottage called "Beaters Retreat", and is not signed from the road. Please ensure that the cache is replaced securely.
Across the field from cache #6
Generic Series Information:
The Coleridge series takes the cacher in a loop passing Euridge, Widdenham and the village of Colerne, on a route of just under 4 miles. This may be done in its' own right, or as an extension of the Thickridge Eight series. If done on its' own, parking is available in the village as shown on the descriptions for caches 7 and 8. The parking at the indicated location and nearby estates is unrestricted, but please note that closer parking along the high street and market place is restricted to the specified time limits. In the vicinity of Euridge you will pass two of the Thickridge Eight caches and Mr Monk Monk's Wood. There is also the church micro in Colerne. The wooded section of the route around #8 and #9 has a narrow path and a long steep drop at the side in places. There are some steep hills, and In the winter much of the route can become extremely muddy; - sturdy walking boots are recommended. The elevations, starting from #1 are as follows:
Many of the caches are in clip top boxes of varying sizes in camouflaged bags. Please fold in the sides of the cache bag before you close it over to ensure that it remains watertight.No caches are hidden in or on dry stone walls, so please take care not to disturb these in any way. Some fields may contain cattle or sheep, so please ensure that you keep your dog on a lead. If you bring a dog, in the unlikely event of cattle chasing you should release your dog and allow him to run away. I have always found them to be very friendly.
