Geocache Description:

A flat walk over grazing fields.

The Coffin Trail is located just off a public footpath know locally by that name. It refers back to centuries ago when residents of the next village had to carry their dead to Bishop's Cleeve for burial as there was no cemetery in that village.

It follows, therefore, that the search should start at St. Micheal's Church in Bishop's Cleeve and the co-ordinates above will take you to the area where you will find a reference to my late friend "Barry Horne". Using the years shown, transpose letters as follows:

ABCD - EFFD

The cache itself can then be found at :

N 5A 57 5FF
W 00E FC 5BA

When the co-ordinates have been extablished it is possible to take the footpath down the west side of the church grounds.
However, parking in the village is difficult at times and Tesco have a two hour limit. It may be, therefore, that, having extablished the cache co-ordinates, geocachers would wish to drive onto a nearly housing estate on the way and join the footpath from there through a playing field.

The cache is a .33l beaker with lid so small exchanges only please.
