Geocache Description:

Cache originally created by "Fruitdrop".

If you want a good walk which will take between 1 and 1.5 hours - starting in a lovely village; climbing some hills with great views and visiting a 5000 year old historic site - then this is the cache for you!

There is parking in the carpark at Wellow N 51° 19.099 W 002° 22.696.


This cache involves several stages where simple "clues" are found to determine the final location.

The cache is a small "lock&lock" box in a camo bag, which can take small trackables. Loosely keeping with the "Tomb Raider" theme, I have stocked the cache with a bag of "treasure" - that being a variety of small value foreign coins and notes. When this cache was re-launched in July 2009, it contained currency from Qatar, Egypt, Albania, Poland, Hungary, China, Kazakhstan, Ghana, Czech Republic, and USA - as well as Euros.

Due to the limited size of the cache, please only leave foreign currency as swaps (Small trackables of course are also welcome).

Feel free to take modest amounts of "treasure" even if you don't have any of your own to swap. However if you do have some spare, low value foreign currency, please bring it along and swap it.

The posted coordinates are the start of a footpath, near the suggested parking location. Follow this path, go left under the railway bridge, and you are on your way.

Proceed to Waypoint 1 (S1) at N 51° 19.099 W 002° 22.696. On this gate there is metal label with a phone number. Make a note of A = 2nd digit, B = 6th digit, C= last digit.

Now proceed to Waypoint 2 (S2) at N 51° 18.620 W 002° 22.971. Here you will find a sign which has 2 numbers on it (white numbers on red background). Call this number DE.

Cross over the bridge and proceed to Waypoint 3 (S3) at N 51° 18.797 W 002° 22.893. Here you will find some words on a stone sign. Near the top right find the words “To be the”. F is the number of letters in the next word.

Before going further, I recommend you take a look inside.

Now proceed to Waypoint 4 (S4) at N 51° 18.685 W 002° 22.878. Nothing here you need to find; this is simply a point to help you on your way. Cross the stile.

Now proceed to Waypoint 5 (S5) at N 51° 19.218 W 002° 22.325. Here you will find a road sign with a picture of a lorry with 2 numbers on it. (And a similar sign on the other side of the road). Call these 2 numbers G and H (in that order).

Not far now. Proceed to Waypoint 6 (S6) at N 51° 19.(G-F)GE W 002° 22.FG(H+B). Here you will find a place to come to if you are thirsty. There are 3 words in the name, I = the number of letters in the 3rd word.

You can now find the cache at N 51° 19.DHF W 002° 22.I(A-F-E)(I+C).
