The Secret Garden (Adventure Lab - Bonus)
✓ #24 cache within Buckinghamshire by % favourite points (see Project-GC).
The Secret Garden was what Mary called it. She liked still more the feeling that when its beautiful old walls shut her in no one knew where she was. It seemed almost like being shut out in some fairy place.
Cache is not at the posted coordinates. You'll need to complete the accompanying Adventure Labs to work out where it is. The Adventure Labs take you for a short exploration of the delightful Lyde Garden in Bledlow. This private garden is open at the owners' discretion from 09:00-16:00 daily. Gate locked at 16:00 in winter and 17:00 in summer. No dogs please.
The Lyde which rises here is a tributary of the River Thames. Originally there were three watercress beds, surrounded by large and beautiful wych elms. Due to elm disease it was for some time a wilderness. Today the garden is planted with primulas, astilbes, gunnera and hostas.
After visiting each location and answering the questions you will be given values for A-I which you need to work out the location of the bonus and also the code to access it.
