Geocache Description:


**Update - Updated my hint as this has not been found since I've placed it. I've checked regularly and it's all OK - and as far as I can see the co-ordinates are OK**

*** Update 2 - I've updated the difficuly to 4, as several people have contacted me and not found it. Also added a bit more into the hint ***

This is my first series of caches. I’m a keen mountain biker (mtb), and was thinking of ways of combining the two pastimes. The result is that I’ve loaded a few geocache containers into my backpack, and I will hide them in locations that particularly inspire me. I’m continually awestruck at the beauty of the place I live in, and these locations are what I think are some of the best. I’ve created a small photo gallery of the rough locations here but the photos are by no means an indication of the exact cache spot - moreover just to give you inspiration if you are planning to come and find them.

You certainly don't need to be a mountain biker, but I’m guessing in the end this series will stretch out around the whole of the Henley area, so they are unlikely to be able to be tackled in a  single walk.

I do hope you enjoy.

 

 

#05 - Pallbach Hill

If you are a mountain biker round Henley, you probably know this route, as it is one of the few places where there’s a steep descent.. There’s a lovely trail right from Roundhouse Farm at the top of Fawley, over Pallbach Hill (where the cache is hidden) and it ends up on a fast (but short) downhill on Reservoir Hill. I had a bit of a search on Dr Google, but couldn't find anything super interesting about these places, but it is very picturesque indeed..
