Geocache Description:


NTCC: 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' (So bring us some figgy pudding)

🎄The NTCC caches can be done as one loop, with convenient parking for a few cars at Churn. The walk will take between 2 and 3 hours and can also be done by bike. Alternative parking is available in Compton and elsewhere for visiting just a few at a time. Under no circumstances should any of the caches be attempted from the A34 as there is no parking there.🎄
