Geocache Description:

Another simple cache with a small Klip container, large enough for a few swaps and TB's. The views from here on a clear day are stunning. Enjoy


From number 4 "Malvern View" carry on along the footpath and through the winding path through the bracken bushes, you now come to the first of three styles in a short distance, if you have a lazy dog like my Labrador you will need to pick them up over these as there is no easy way through any of them. After climbing over the second style once again the route starts to get steep again, please be careful of the wooden steps in places as they can also be very slippery just like the ground underfoot. As you reach the top of the climb you will walk through a kind of tunnel of bushes until you come out into a small wooded area. From here carry on along the footpath where you will see a large tree with some carvings on it, just past this tree you will come to the third and final style, once over this one walk down the steep bank to the right and again please be careful as it can be slippery underfoot again. You are now at GZ and once found and tasks completed just stand and admire the views, With the distant views behind you, the cache is located to the right of the gate. THIS CACHE IS NOT IN OR ON THE WALL!

From here if you follow the footpath across the three fields the other side of the gate you can pick up HKMHill's brilliant "Winchcombe" series at "W3" cache "Stone Slab" and you then have the option of either going onto "W4 - Turn Right" or "W20 - Orchard Entry" and making your way back down into Winchcombe via two different routes. Alternatively if you head down the hill instead you can pick up "W16 - Stile"

**Congratulations to Walk Tall for the FTF**
