Geocache Description:

A mile walk around some pretty villages in the Wylye Valley. This cache comprises of initially 1 virtual cache and then 2 micro caches leading you to the final ammo box. Most of the walking is on public footpaths, but a small amount of road walking is necessary (on a quiet village road so suitable for dogs and children!).

There are 2 parking options for completing this cache, both involve similar length walks:

N51°08.195 W001°56.965
This is on the road parking near the church and involves a short walk to the first cache, but a longer walk back to the car from the final cache.

N51°08.013 W001°57.315
There is enough parking for 1 car here, this is slightly further from the first cache, but much closer to the final one.

___________________________________________________________

To start with go to:

N51°08.149 W001°57.101

Answer the following question:

What year did Dr. Shaw die? Answer 19AB

___________________________________________________________

Now substitue the letters in the following coordinates for numbers using this information.

N51°08.10A W001°57.BA8

You are now looking for a micro cache. Inside this are details leading you to a 2nd micro cache, which in turn will lead you to the final cache. Please do not remove the details from these micro caches.

___________________________________________________________

When searching for the final cache, for reasons of safety and discretion, please do not access it from the road. This will be obvious when you are at the right spot! In the cache there is a camera, please take a photo and record the number in the log book. Thanks!

IMPORTANT: When searching for the final cache, please think light moss green doors rather than dark green doors!

This cache is mainly on flat well made paths, but there is one short part uphill on a potentially muddy track. Nevertheless, the cache should be achievable with buggies etc.

Hope you enjoy this walk - Rosie certainly does!
