Geocache Description:

Situated on a footpath that crosses Kempsey Common - an ancient common still used for sheep grazing and horse riding (as well as walking of course). Gentle up-hill walk of less than 1 mile round trip from the suggested parking.

G:UK cache rating
The cache is up on Kempsey Common which enjoys wonderful views of the Malvern Hills and Worcester Cathederal. Lots of footpaths criss-cross it but being a common you are free to wander anywhere (as are the sheep and ponies). Beware the gorse bushes.

Suggested parking is at the free Common car park next to the Farmers Arms pub at N52 07.963, W002 11.856. Don't try and access it from the M5! Access is from the A38 south of Kempsey, follow the brown signs to the pub. Alternatively you can walk to the common from many other directions.

The cache is a small 1.6l sandwich box so don't take anything too large to put in.

The cache is off the main common and not in full view but please be discrete and don't draw attention to yourselves and make sure it's well hidden from both sides. The cache has been relocated as of 26/07/08. Beware the barbed wire at the new location, it won't cause a problem, just be careful. The re-location is only temporary and we shall move it again soon.
