Geocache Description:

This cache is one in a series of caches, along the 'Round Aylesbury Walk'.

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 part of the Round Aylesbury Walk runs from Quarrendon round to the industrial area of the town near Rabans Lane. The cache is located next to an area of parkland behind a screen of bushes. The river Thame runs alongside the path, providing a natuaral boundary to the park.
There's a sign along the A41 mentioning 'Stone Bridge' which was built in 1993. We can only assume they weren't being literal as the bridge is clearly made of concrete!
The cache is far too easy to do on its own! Why not make it part of a stroll along a section of the walk?
You are looking for a small flat box - large enough for the logbook and pencil and some very small items (or a geocoin!)
