Neither Ford is particularly deep except after extreme weather, and
the cache can still be completed without getting your wheels wet.
The author will accept no responsibility for water damage to
vehicles ! or shoes ... In fact the second you actually have to
deliberately leave the main road to go through on a small track,
but it is fun ! Extra kudos to anyone posting pictures of
themselves crossing in vehicles though, and push-bikes :)
Your trail begins near to Hinxton ford at the
co-ordinates given. This is on a small road from Hinxton into
nearby Duxford, you can approach from either direction and there is
plenty of space for turning and parking on either side of the
Ford.
Clue 1 : You'll need the phone if you're heavy or slow ..
but how much is too heavy ? AB tonnes
Clue 2 : Look for something powerful nearby, C????. The
numbers are WXYZ
Back in the car and proceed to N52'0X.WZ5 E0.1(B+1).YZX
this is approx 4 miles, and do take care when crossing any dual
carriageways please.
Clue 3 : The bridge replacing the Ford was rebuilt a
while ago, but in what year ? The digits are JKLM
Clue 4 : What is the weight limit on the 'new' bridge ?
CD tonnes
Proceed to the cache located nearby at N52'(K-B-A))7.B(W-A)7
E00'1X.KC5 - it is near to the 'funeral' ;-)
This is about a mile to walk, or parking nearby is also
available. This is my first cache, hope you enjoy it !
Cache itself is now a small ammo box. It's hidden off the path,
but when you're near you'll spot it I think. Its original contents
were a selection of small 'interesting' objects. The original final
'clue' has recently been removed, and the lane slightly pruned -
however some hint as to the clue still remains and should be
sufficient help.
