This is the FOURTH cache in a series of FIVE, which take you on a small loop through Great Bois Wood in Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire.
CACHE 4: Single-Track
As you leave the woodland to walk towards St Leonards Church you are in the valley where you will be close to the Chesham spure of the metropolitain line. This is a single-track section of the undergraound railway, which opened in 1889. It is one of the most isolated and contrified parts of the undergrodund network and the furthest line from central London.
You will later ascend a starcase cut into the footpath, 'Jacobs Ladder'. Quite a steep climb, but then this flattens out after the church.
GREAT BOIS WOOD
Great Bois Wood is a beautiful ancient woodland in the Chilterns. In easy walking distance to both Amersham and Chesham it is favoured by many who want a tranquil short walk. Bluebells, foxgloves and mature trees all make it a haven for woods lovers. Whilst hiding these caches we saw deer in the woods in the middle of the day. So stay stealthy and not only will you avoid the muggles seeing you at work, but you also may just see some wildlife.
