Geocache Description:

This is the 2nd of a series of 11 Geocaches supported by Wembury Local History Society, all within the Parish of Wembury.  This cache is called "Hi Dee Hi" and looks at the rise and fall of the Holiday Camp.  

 View the gallery for some information about the Holiday Camps


IMPORTANT:   The initial co-ordinates take you to the phone box at Higher Mill Meadow near Wembury Beach, the actual Geocache is at Wembury Point

Download all the information you need before you set out - limited phone or 3G / 4G signal available here. Also download the information for other nearby caches you may want to look for as they will be difficult to find with partial information.

It is possible to make this into a lovely 3 mile circular walk, taking in a number of other Geocaches. Either continue up Pump Hill to Langdon Court and look at the Geocache, "A Royal Residence", GC6Y71X  (N50 19.714 W4 5.422), or turn off left onto a footpath before it and cut the corner. Follow the route as described and solve this Geocache. Continue on to Heybrook Lido and then take the coastal path back to Wembury - wellies required after rain. There are a number of other geocaches along the route but download all details before setting out.

 

"Hi Dee Hi" is a multicache  that will take time to solve and you will need your Geowagon or good walking boots!  If the weather is good, be sure to take a picnic and beach gear, enjoy your day out.  Your Geohound can come too but bring him/her water.  Geokids will find this Cache entertaining.  There are other caches that can be found along the way.  There is a short but hilly walk back from the beach that is accessible by those with toddlers in buggies.  Along the way, you will discover the codes required to unlock the coordinates of the final cache where you can sign the log and take a small, laminated information card.

Clue 1:  You will need to go to the given co-ordinates and work out A and B (A6B46B).  A = ?  B = ?

Directions: From the phone box, continue up Pump Hill looking out for the second entrance to Churchwood Valley.  (N50 19.320 W4 5.073)

Clue 2: Churchwood Valley - Speed Limit.  C = ?  

Directions:  Continue along this lane, eventually coming to the entrance to Langdon Court on your right.  Opportunity for a Cache and Dash here - GC6Y71X  (N50 19.712 W4 5.425) - "A Royal Residence".  Turn sharp left and follow this lane down to the National Trust Carpark at Wembury Point.

PARK HERE (Fee) or outside on the verge for free.  Make sure you take your picnic and beach gear with you, as you won't want to walk back to the car.

Clue 3:  National Trust Information Board -: "The National Trust bought the land at Wembury Point in 20DE.  D = ?  E = ?  

Cache 2: Solve the puzzle to reveal the location of the cache  

N50 19.D(A-C)B W004 06.(A-E)C(A-B)

Once you have found the Geocache, sign the log,

 

All you have to do now is to carry on down the road to the gate.  At the gate, turn left and walk down hill.  Before the next gate, take the second track on the right and this takes you to the Coastal Path.  Turn left and you will see the entrance to the beach on your right.  The beach is best at mid to high tide, but is also great for rockpooling at low tide.  You are at the old Heybrook Bay Lido - it belonged to the Patches Holiday Camp but was also used by Wembury Point Holiday Camp.  

There are several other nearby Geocaches so enjoy yourself
