Cache is not at the posted coordinates. There is a puzzle to solve first.
The twenty-third in a series of puzzle caches with the common theme being that they are all situated "Inside No. 9". The Chiltern Society's Footpath Map No. 9 that is…what else could that mean?!
The Puzzle
Where Feet Don't Count
Across the fields where undulating hills,
Embrace the sky in nature's vast expanse,
A traveler sets forth with eager wills,
To journey far, his spirit to enhance.
From where their carriage parked, the path unfolds,
Through countryside where beauty softly sings,
Each step a story waiting to be told,
Amidst the tranquil scenes, life's offerings.
The rolling hills, with verdant greenery,
Invite the soul to wander and explore,
While sunlight dances in a symphony,
And gentle breezes whisper tales of yore.
Through valleys deep and forests dark and deep,
The traveler roams, a seeker on his quest,
With every stride, new mysteries to reap,
And treasures found in nature's vast behest.
Along the way, he meets both friend and foe,
And learns the lessons that the journey brings,
Through trials and triumphs, highs and lows,
He finds the strength to spread his eager wings.
With every turn, the landscape shifts anew,
From meadows green to rivers clear and bright,
Through rugged paths where rocky cliffs pursue,
The traveler embraces each new sight.
In valleys low, where shadows softly fall,
The echo of the wind sings tales untold,
Of ancient lands and kingdoms standing tall,
Where legends live and stories yet unfold.
Beside the river's gentle flowing stream,
The traveler pauses, lost in reverie,
Reflecting on the journey's timeless theme,
And all the wonders waiting yet to see.
Through cities bustling with life's ceaseless flow,
And towns where history whispers in the breeze,
The traveler wanders, eager to bestow,
His heart upon the world, with open ease.
From dawn's first light to twilight's soft embrace,
The traveler roams, his spirit ever free,
Embracing life with every step he takes,
And finding joy in all that he can be.

Whilst the CO is a fan of the source material he appreciates that it is not everyone's cup of tea. There should therefore be no need to watch any episodes in order to solve the puzzles in this series, but it might help!
Congratulations to Burton’s are go! on the FTF!
