What is the Round Aylesbury Walk?
It's a 12 mile circular walk which can also be split into 2 or 3 mile segments for those only wanting a gentle stroll. It's a joint venture between the local Ramblers' Association and Aylesbury Vale District Council and is signposted clearly along the route. Most of the route to the North of Aylesbury is on firm footpaths and grassed areas, but there are parts of the Southern Section that cross cultivated fields and meadow land, so be prepared for some mud at times!
About the Cache
This short walk takes you close to the picturesque village of Stoke Mandeville. It's popular with dog-walkers and slightly overlooked by houses, so be careful when retrieving the cache.
It's also quite close to the main Chiltern Railways line from Aylesbury to London. Make sure the trains don't make you jump!

Sign both the logbook and log your find online to get your smiley. Geocache owners love reading about your experience'. There are more rules, but this is the first one.
