The suggested parking for this series is down by the Village Sign where there is space for multiple cars, including the space on the green there (N52° 4.812' E000° 16.469' ... CB21 4PH ...) . There will be a short walk from there to reach cache #1. Use the Mid-Waypoint to find the public footpath.

Your Puzzle: Biodegradable plastics

Biodegradable plastics are commonly used for disposable items, such as packaging, crockery, cutlery, and food service containers. In principle they could replace many applications for conventional plastics, however cost and performance remain problematic. Their usage is financially favorable only if supported by specific regulations limiting the usage of conventional plastics. For example, biodegradable plastic bags and shoppers have been compulsory in Italy since 2011 with the introduction of a specific law.

History:

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) was first observed in bacteria in 1888 by Martinus Beijerinck. In ABCD, French microbiologist Maurice Lemoigne chemically identified the polymer after extracting it from Bacillus mageterium. It was not until the early 1960s that the groundwork for scaled production was laid.

The cache can be found at: N52 04.ACD E000 14.(B-B)B(A+C)
