Adam's Apple

Welcome to the Adam's Apple series, dedicated to my good apple, who suffers my hobby, for him then a series of good apples...

The series passes two Village Signs and includes a handful of Puzzles, and a whole sackful of letterboxes.

All of the letterbox caches in the series are easily solved, all you need to do is count some calories...

Parking can be found in the village, please park sensibly.
The route is about 6 miles, and I don't recall any styles to clamber, just a few gates. The terrain is reasonably flat, just a few hills near the start and a gentle incline to finish, and the route consists of fields, footpaths and a couple of sections of country lanes.
Hope you enjoy the walk


Some puzzles which make up the leaf of the apple, and can be completed separately if you wish. They are nearby the main walk, and can be included to extend the walk a little, or they can be collected independently.

There are 6 puzzles, 3 on route and 3 C&D puzzles, and 3 bonus caches, where you need information from the letterbox series. One bonus is between 34 & 35 the other two are after all letterboxes have been found.

Each letterbox contains a letter stamper, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE STAMPER, you need those letters, and the cache number that they are in to work out the coords for the three bonuses.

For example, if in cache number 10 you find the letter A then A=10, and if in cache 22 is B then B=22.
