Geocache Description:

A multicache situated in the village of Aldbury, 3 miles east of Tring.

Aldbury lays at the foot of the Chiltern ridge and is almost surrounded by the Ashridge estate which is owned by the National Trust.

The village was home of the popular 80's television series "Shillingbury Tales" as well as being the host for the first ever National Lottery advert, which was filmed at the local post office. Another claim to fame is the village was used in the Avengers episode "Murdersville."

The local country club, Stocks was also used for the cover shot of the third Oasis album 'Be Here Now' and was formerly the home of Mrs Humphry Ward the Novelist.

Parking should be easy somewhere around,

which is near The Greyhound Inn.

Here you are at your starting point, the Village Green with it's pond, stocks and whipping post. Look out for a bench dedicated to Stanley Bailey, former evacuee.The dates are 19F9 19A5.

Now head towards John the Baptist church. Here lies the grave of the Novelist Mrs Mary Augusta Ward somewhere in the graveyard.

She lived from June 11th ?B?? to March 2Eth ??D?
Her time living at Stocks house was ???? - ???C.

You now should have all the numbers you need to find the micro, a small film container, which holds the final co-ords

Exit via the gable entrance of the church and turn right walk up the hill where the micro is located on a footpath at
N51 AB CDE
W000 F(D+E) DD(A+E)
Once you have found the micro please replace it carefully, out of view.
