Geocache Description:


This is multi staged cache that is a short walk around an area called Fox Wood just off Spindle Lane, there is parking available at the Dorket Head end of the lane. The posted co-ords take you to an information board where you will find the answers to the first two questions and where you can enter the wood, although you can do the stages in any order. Fox Wood is privately owned by Woodborough Park Farm and conceals the remains of an Iron-age Fort, so please respect the environment.

The cache has been placed with the kind permission of John Charles-Jones at Woodborough Park Farm, when accessing the cache there is no need to go into the field, please remain on the bridleway.

Question1: What year was the law passed that protects Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas? The third digit equals A

Question2: What was the year the woodland was thinned to help protect the archaeology and improve the ecology? The fourth digit equals C

Now make your way to stage two where you will find another information board, which is the same as the first one , but the question refers to the gate behind you.

Question3: What is the number of horizontal bars that make up the gate? Add that number to 2 and the result equals B

Now it's on to the third stage, another information board and again the same as the first one.

Question4: What is the number of wooden planks used to make the steps? Subtract the first digit from the second digit and the result equals D

Question5: What is the number of steps? Subtract 2 from that number and the result equals E

Question6: What is the number of vertical posts supporting the handrail? Add that number to 3 and the result equals F

The cache can be found at N53 01.ABC  W001 05.DEF

Checksum for all digits should be 48
