Geocache Description:

A loop of 20 caches plus a bonus of which you will find part cords in 4 of the 20 caches. The caches of variuos sizes run from Curbridge to Brize Norton through Lew and back to Curbridge. Mostly on level ground with only 1 slight rise and fall near the centre of the loop. Parking has been kindly permitted at The Lord Kitchener PH by Bernhard and his staff so feel free to pop in for rerfreshments but please advoid busy times (Sunday Lunch) unless of course you've booked a table.


A QUICK HEADS UP. Thanks to Elf_Tea. Between No14 and No15 a new fence line has been erected with stiles that are not very geodog friendly especially if they're too big to lift over. The alternative is to turn left after No14 and head towards No16 but be aware of 40mph speed limit and narrow grass verge when with geohounds and Kids. Circular loop of 20 caches plus bonus covering appoximately 5 miles that should take around 3 hours mainly on level ground through fields with 1 slight rise and fall in the centre where you'll be walking directly under Brize flight path. You will encounter Live stock in some so please keep geodogs on leads. There are quite a few stiles to negotiate and also a few actual gates that are padlocked but clearly showing public right of way so you will have to climb over them , threrfore this loop is sadly not wheel chair friendly.

I've used my Garmin to work the cords as close as possible but the hint will help if slightly out, and as much as possible i've placed these caches close to the public right of way Although  Please be aware that some areas have been sectioned off by electrified wire. There are also 1 or 2 places where it might be wise to walk round the edge of a field rather than through the middle. Please ensure that all cache lids are replaced to keep water tight and are hidden as best as possible , if you do come across any that are wet i'm more than happy for you to replace and do a bit of helpful cacher maintinance.

 

If you haven't already done it you can dirvert slightly to pick up GC2BHX9 on route , and I've also been kindly informed by the local reviewer that this loop clashes with the final of puzzle cache GCT45G UC(qi) if you wish to try and solve this before you set out . Although this circuit was set in the summer during bad weather it may get quite muddy therefore discretion should be used regarding footwear. I hope you enjoy the loop and depending on what time you do it get some great views of Hurc's and C17's going in and out of Brize.
