Geocache Description:


Bonus for Farmoor Adventure Lab - final coordinates available by visiting the Adventure Lab stages. You need to answer a second question at each adlab stage to get the final coordinates.

Do not visit the icon coordinates unless you have a dinghy.

Field note - when we placed the bonus and researched the Adventure Lab stages in November 2023, 2 of them were inaccessible due to flood water on paths / tracks about 10cm deep. Do not take any risks. Wear wellies - or go at a time of year when you are sure the Thames is not flooding. As we go birdwatching every couple of months here, we will post updates on any flooding (17/1/24: paths are fine, bit muddy by Thames).

We do hope you enjoy the walk and the wildlife - the adventure lab is designed to help you do that, and the bonus is very straightforward. If you are keen on birdwatching, then try our puzzle cache GCA9Y93 . It would be great to read in logs about any birds you see on your walk. 

Species we have seen or heard at Farmoor include: great crested grebe, little grebe, slavonian grebe, cormorant, great northern diver, grey heron, dunlin, redshank, tufted duck, goldeneye, mallard, teal, pied wagtail, coot, moorhen, water ral, greylag goose, canada goose, snow goose, mute swan, black headed gull, great tit, blue tit, long tailed tit, goldfinch, chaffinch, robin, reed bunting, cetti's warbler, wren, blackbird, fieldfare, red kite.
