This is the 2nd in a trail of 12 geocaches that follow the Dane's Steam from its source in the hamlet of Wooton to the sea at Keyhaven Marshes (via Milford on Sea and Sturt Pond). Each cache or one of the waypoints will be at or very near a crossing over the stream. You will be guided to historic buldings, great natural locations and a large earth dam that you might otherwise have not seen.
Each cache contains a single 'golden letter' . The full set of 12 letters is an anagram of the 3 word 'moniker' of one of the most famous and well known pre-Norman (before 1066) Kings of England and provides the solution to the location of the Mystery Reward cache in Hordle. He is buried in Winchester Cathedral and part of a Dynasty that is very relevant to the theme of the trail.
At Stage 1 you will find yourself by the the Church of England Chapel that was also the local National School up until 1933. See the local history which includes a photo of the school by searching wooton miltonheritagesociety. Use the code of the Saint expressed in numbers (2516) to solve for the cache coordinates N 50.46.NJO W 1 39.HJJ
The lane is narrow but not busy so with care you can Park and Grab. At the start location it is possible to park off the road for a short time but vehicles cannot be left unattended. It is recommended to visit cache no 1 on this trail to make a satisfying start to the trail. There are multiple opportunities for refreshment stops between caches no 2 and no 3. and a drive by viewing of the waymarked stream crossing along Sway Rd.
