QL-9 Step down Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

astwood: As per previous post, we have now been around the circuit and removed all traces of cache containers: all caches, parts of caches, cable ties etc.
Thanks QL series, it has given a lot of pleasure to a lot of cachers over the years. Perhaps someone will place a new series on this pretty walk one day

Geocache Description:


Part of the Quiet Lanes walk. See GC83JKN QL-1 Tree-mendous start, for a full description.  This one is a small tin in a camo bag.    

This is a new cache in a new location, to replace the original ill-fated QL-9 which suffered multiple disappearances not far from here. We archived that one, but it left a bit of a gap in the series.

The new location is actually in a better place, as it gives the finder an option of how to complete the walk back to the starting point in the church car park: the shortest route is across a footpath, taking GC292R2 Bridge over Troubled Water en route, or if you don't fancy the possibly muddy path, you can walk back through the village, via Pepper street.  You do not have to go into the field or over the stile to get this cache.

With apologies to those who have already done the QL series, for adding this one in, but it does make for a more complete walk for future seekers.

There are two stiles close to GZ. If someone has moved the cache to the wrong one, please replace it as per the hint, at the stile closest to the coords.

Note: as usual, our hint is fairly explicit, so don't read it if you prefer to find it using your cacher's instinct.
