Geocache Description:

The Vogrie Cachers welcome you to Vogrie. As well as the parkland there are also two playparks, one near the car parking and another further down. The trees along here all have a tale to tell, and have been here for many years.


This cache has been hidden for the Vogrie VII event being held on 8th October 2017. Come and enjoy the beautiful autumn colours in the stunning grounds of the historic Vogrie Country Park. There are 11.5 miles of signed footpaths passing through sweeping parkland, woodlands and the River Tyne Valley. There are many fine trees that tend to confuse your GPS, we have tried our hardest to get accurate coordinates but please be warned! Please return the cache exactly as you found it. Enjoy.

Michael Bond and the characters he created are rather favourites of ours.  We mark his passing with a puzzle cache based on some these characters.  Can you identify the following characters?  The number of letters in their names will give you the numbers to find the final location. Where the name consists of more than one word, the word you need to count the letters of is indicated with a ? If you find yourself squinting, the individual pictures have been added to the cache page
Now what's the magic word to let you into the herb garden????????

Cache can be found at N55 51. UVW W002 59.XYZ
