Geocache Description:

The micro cache is a plastic film container cleverly consealed within a natural surrounding!!

This is now a standalone cache as two of the original series were archived before I adopted the others. Below is the original text from when the cache was published.

 

The micro cache is a plastic film container cleverly concealed within a natural surrounding!!

 

This is Part 3 of a 4 part cache series. In order to complete Part 4 – “The Final Raid” you must also complete, "Timothy Potter" and “High Spirits". These can be done in any order and can be logged as individual finds.

The co-ordinates are NOT that of the cache, but of where you will find the answer to the following question:

On the main sign, what is the word?  ?? & Gardens

The sign has been replaced. As a temperary measure. Please use Google streetview to see the sign.

In order to locate the Cache, use the 6th letter of the answer of the question above and the code below to replace the X in the Northing co-ordinate.

O P Q R S T U

Repeat the above using the 1st and 2nd letters and the same code to replace the X’s in the Westing co-ordinate.

W 000, 0X.(X-3)55

Park at N 53, 10.551 W 000, 09.088 (Picnic Area). This is a nice quick one for the final part prior to heading on to Part 4 – ‘The Final Raid’.

When you have found this cache, on the log sheet there is a single word clue. Make a note of this as you will need it to get to "The Final Raid" Watch out for muggles as this is a popular walking route. Make sure you rehide it in such a way that it blends in - you will see what we mean when you see it!

The walk is on the Viking Way, which follows the path of an old dismantled railway line. The trail has been recently revamped and new sculptures and carvings have been added. The establishment where you will find the clue is where RAF Woodhall Spa had its Officers Mess during the Second World War a evening rest area for Guy Gibson (hence the title of the cache). Do take the time to look around the area as there are many old and interesting buildings including The Tea House in the Woods (built in 1907 - now a restaurant) and the famous Kinema in the Woods (which was known in World War 2 as the “Flicks in the Sticks)”.
