Geocache Description:


A mountain in England and Wales in generally accepted as being a hill over 2000ft (610m). As Oxfordshire’s highest point is White Horse Hill at 855ft (261m) climbing a mountain in the county is a little difficult. Or is it? This is a gentle mini series for the walkers and the Trigpointers, each cache being place on a hill top with a trig point nearby. The idea being that if you visit four top which have a combined height of over 2000ft, you have your mountain. Far fetch, but hopefully fun.

The Above coordinates are for the Trig Point and is 114ft (374m) above sea level, the cache is located at;

N51 52 (A+C)AA W001 19 0(B-C) (A+C)

A,B,C can be found in the logs of:

Oxfordshire’s Mountain - Duns Tew
Oxfordshire’s Mountain - Great Tew
Oxfordshire’s Mountain - Lidstone

At the trig point you will have visited four tops:

Great Tew 617ft (188m)
Duns Tew 502ft (153m)
Lidstone 614ft (187m)
The Summit 374ft (114m)
Totalling 2107ft(642m)
