Milestone #110 - Norwich 13 - Thetford 16 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MCG1975: Was passing today so stopped to collect the cache before I archived it. However, it's not where I originally placed it and after several minutes looking I couldn't see it so have had to give up and just archive this as it is.

Geocache Description:


This is apparently one of a line of 21 surviving milestones along the former Norwich to Thetford turnpike, created in its entirety in 1766 and lasting until 1870. More details on this milestone can be found on the Norfolk Heritage Explorer. If possible I will try and place caches near as many of these milestones as possible, although as I know a few are beside the main A11 I may have to get inventive to make the caches accessible!

I apologise for the host, not everyone's favourite place but the options were limited. See the spoiler picture for a visual hint. You may also need to be tall or bring something to stand on...once you've found it. Please put back where it came from so it's not muggled (and so that I've got half a chance of finding it again for maintenance!!).


Congratulations to 2 DG's for persistence in the gloom and wet to get the FTF!
