This is a replacement of VS #1799 - Epping1, GC9E0V1, which was archived in March 2024.
1st Epping Guides placed this cache as part of a day out learning about Geocaching for their Geocaching interest badge (along with an icon run), out with a Guide leader who geocaches (and set up some of the new caches to add to the icon run).
There have been a series of amazing wooden signs at the entrance of Epping from the north, the current one now matches the one at the south, but the previous sign was slightly different - so the girls chose a puzzle based on the previous sign.

About Village Sign Caches
|
 ⠀ |
This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website
If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
