NOTE: April 2022 UPDATE: Missing Information: David’s date currently cannot be found. Whilst I look into fixing the cartridge, please note that the date required is 1979.
Information needed for calculating each cache’s final location needs to be collected in Wallingford town centre. All the physical caches are out of the centre of Wallingford (within 2miles of given coordinates) in a more rural setting affording great views of South Oxfordshire. They can be collected together in a walk of around 2.5-3 miles. As such, these caches are not suitable for cache and dash seekers.
Parking waypoints for Wallingford and a layby suitable for 2 (maybe 3) cars useful for collecting the caches are included on CM11201 Mary-le-More GC7D0RH .
St Mary Magdelene is a Norman church. It was originally built in the early 12th century, possibly as the chapel of a leper colony under the care of Wallingford Priory. In 1140, it was used as a fortified post by King Stephen in his wars with Matilda who held Wallingford Castle. During the Civil War it was used by Cromwell’s men to shelter from the Royalists (there are cannon ball holes in the vestry door to prove it!).
This cache has been set up as a wherigo cartridge which starts at the given coordinates on this page. The wherigo itself takes ~30 minutes but there are other caches and coffee shops en route that may be a distraction! Download the cartridge
