Geocache Description:

Easy multi-cache situated just off of a section of the Macmillan Way North West of Corsham. The cache lends itself to a nice approximately 2 mile circular walk in the Colerne Valley along the By Brook river. The slope is quite steep in places and the path can be overgrown so not suitable for pushchairs. Can get quite muddy in the winter.

The Cache consists of 2 micro-caches, which separately contain the Northings and Eastings co-ordinates to the main cache. Ample parking is available at N51° 25.879 W002° 13.563 shown as the posted co-ordinates, although you can park a bit closer if you drive down the lane to the gates of the old RAF Rudloe Manor at N51° 26.104 W002° 13.772, now disused. This will take you within 200m of the first micro.

Walk down the hill to find the first Micro Cache at N51° 26.210 W002° 13.825 which is a 35mm film canister, this contains one of the co-ordinates to the final Cache.

Carry on down the footpath to join the Macmillan Way and on to 51° 26.673 W002° 13.822 to find the second canister which contains the remaining co-ordinates of the final cache.

The cache is a medium sized plastic container hidden inside an old black soap bag. As its watertight please ensure that the cache is replaced with the opening of the soap bag facing downwards. Plenty of walkers around the main cache so beware of muggles. If you are in the area on a, dry, weekday lunchtime you may even see me as I go for a run (!!)

The difficulty rating is higher as you effectively have to find three easy caches.
