This cache is a plastic container placed close to the church and meeting place of the Scouts. The first for them to find hence the name (and the religious connection).
Chafford Gorges visitor centre is set in a spectacular position over looking Warren Gorge. Chafford Gorges nature park offers 200 acres of green space for numerous wildlife and recreation for the 12,500 people living in Chafford Hundred.
Essex probably originated as a shire in the time of Aethelstan. The Domesday Survey listed nineteen hundreds, corresponding very closely in extent and in name with those that were in use until the nineteenth century. The additional half-hundred of Thunreslan on the border with Suffolk no longer exists, and the hundred of Witbrictesherna was renamed Dengie. The liberty of Havering-atte-Bower was formed from land taken from Becontree hundred. Chafford Hundred consisted of Aveley, Brentwood, Childerditch, Cranham, Grays Thurrock, Great Warley, Little Warley, North Ockendon, Rainham, South Ockendon, South Weald, Stifford, Upminster, Wennington, West Thurrock.
This set of caches circles Warren and Lion Gorge and access to these and Grays Gorge and Mill Wood can be found en route and all are worth a visit. a series of ex chalk quarrys for cement and cement products now returned to nature and managed by Essex Wildlife Trust. Also close to a path along the River Thames towards Grays or Rainham. A cycle/walk along Davy Down is also close by.
All the caches are straightforward to find, close together and would be a good set for kids on a walk to or to get and keep them interested.
