Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a new series of six micros (all 'PET preforms') and a small 'bonus' cache on a circular walk of less than two miles around Brookwood Country Park in Knaphill.

The caches in the original series were named after birds that might be seen in the park. The new caches have been named, for no good reason, after the planets in the solar system.

Brookwood Country Park

To locate the bonus cache, BCP2 #7, you will need to collect the six Bonus Code Numbers (A-F) from the micros. Each micro has two of the numbers on the cover of its logbook; you should be able to push on for the bonus, even if one of the micros has gone astray.


Brookwood Country Park is a conservation area that lies above the Basingstoke Canal on land that, until its closure in 1994, was part of the grounds of Brookwood Hospital. Prior to the opening of the hospital (originally the Surrey County Asylum) in 1867, the area was known as Knaphill Common.

The park has four ponds with abundant wildlife - nesting swans and other wildfowl are a common sight here. Along the canal, you may be lucky enough to spot herons or kingfishers. This is a very popular area for dog walkers, joggers, cyclists and anglers, so stealth will be required!


The Bookmark List for the circuit has the details of all seven caches. You might also like to check out some local puzzles - a few lead to caches hidden nearby...

There is a car park (open 24*7) by the football pitches close to BCP2 #1, and you can find a nice spot for refreshments across the road from BCP2 #6.

Please replace the caches carefully ... and don't forget to make a note of those Bonus Code Numbers!

 

And the FTF goes to …?
