Geocache Description:


Updated 18/8/21. As this cache was going missing frequently, I have moved it slightly and changed the hide type. If you solved before this date, jigidi will give you the updated completion message if you were logged in when you solved the puzzle. Otherwise add .007 to the northings and .015 to the westings to update your solved coordinates.

 

This is a themed series of jigsaws set around the village of Kegworth. While the route is more or less circular, there are a few deviations to fit in extra caches to create the geoart picture. Please use the proper crossing points where necessary.

During lockdown I found myself looking at the insect life on my daily walks a lot closer, and the majority of the jigsaws have come from this. They do not provide clues to the cache location. I have also found that carrying a camera and occasionally pointing it at a flower is a great cover for caching.

Note: I am not an entomologist and the species identification is my best guess. If I have any wrong, please let me know.

There is ample parking in the village (though if you are right in the centre please observe the parking restrictions – the local traffic wardens have a fearsome reputation). Many of the caches in the village itself can be done as park and grabs, but those out of the village do require a walk. Some of the roads around Kegworth are rather new so may not appear on outdated maps!

Small tortoiseshell (Aglais urtucae)

Widespread throughout Britain and a common garden visitor, The caterpillar feeds on nettles and the adults are one of the first butterflies to emerge in the spring.
