Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. This is a series which other cachers can add to and expand into other geographical areas. See the bookmark list for all the caches in the series.


The Village Hall

Bluntisham Village Hall was built in 2003, and then 2 years later it opened its doors to the public after winning an award. The unique building was built initially as a badminton court for the community and to also provide a local venue to hire for events. The hall has a wonderful outlook across to the grounds of a cricket pavilion and is surrounded by playing fields, a large play area, and trim trail. The site is run by Bluntisham Village Hall Management Committee who run a variety of weekly events at the hall including dancing, languages and variety of sports.

The Cache

This cache is a letterbox cache, based on the traditional type of letterboxing as originally set up in Dartmoor. The cache is not at the published coordinates. The final container is found by following a set of clues that will take you around the village hall and surrounding playing field. The final container is a medium sized container wrapped with camoflage tape and contains a stamp, log book and pen. The stamp must not be removed as it is part of the cache!

Step 1

Walk round the hall until you find the location in this photo:

Window wall

Step 2

Stand with your back to the wall. Start walking straight (away from the hall).

Step 3

Keep walking straight until you bump into a tree. You may choose to go round some obstacles rather than straight through them but make sure you get back to your original bearing.

Step 4

Search for the cache. Mind the muggles!
