The Chalbury & Preston (C&P) Circular consists of a multi to start, nine traditionals and a bonus eleventh cache. Parking outside Telford Close park, this series is intended to be done as a loop, with total distance and elevations shown below. There is a mix of fields, hills, a country lane and a main road, so please take care of any traffic whilst you are searching. Heading up towards Chalbury Reservoir there are stunning views in all directions, so binoculars would be ideal to savour the scenery on a lovely clear day, and please share in your online logs any photos you may capture on camera or phone.
Â
Bonus cache coordinates can be found in two of the caches, with a hint to the bonus found in a third container. The three cache pages will clearly state if there is bonus information to find at the cache.

C&P Circular #01
This first cache will take you along pavements on quiet roads, stopping at three waypoints to find the coordinates of the cache. The first waypoint is near the listed recommended parking area, whilst the second and third waypoints are more interesting. Please be aware that there is a slight detour off the route shown for the first cache. This is the only cache in the series where it can get really muddy on the approach to the final.
