Geocache Description:

Carry on along the footpath which follows the lower edge of the field. This cache requires care to extract, which should be done from above. If you attempt to force the cache out from the side or below, you may ruin it, or the cache hiding place. Please ensure that you replace the cache in the same place that you found it, lowering down from above.

Generic Series Information:

The Coleridge series takes the cacher in a loop from the village of Colerne to Euridge, Widdenham and back, 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, 8 and 9.  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. If you do start the loop at Colerne, then at Euridge you will pass two of the Thickridge Eight caches followed a little further on by Mr Monk Monk's Wood. There is also the church micro in Colerne. The wooded section of the route between #17 & #20 has a narrow path and a long steep bank 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.
