This multi cache is located north of the picturesque villages of
Monxton and Amport in an area which is known locally as the cross
tracks. To complete the multi you will need to locate 8 iron
objects which give clues to lead you to the final cache.
The first location is the car park of the Amport Inn which is
conveniently situated for pre or post caching sustenance. An
attached
picture indicates opening/dining times. The barmaid who
I spoke to was happy for people to use the car park even if going
off for a walk, without obligation. Walk out the back of the pub
car park to the field to get to the first waypoint. If the car park
is full then there is alternative parking at N51° 11.995 W001°
33.724. Walk along the nearby signed footpath to the first
waypoint.
If you follow the waypoints in the order listed you will be able
to enjoy a circular walk of just over 3 miles across open
countryside with nice views. All routes are marked footpaths. The
paths may be muddy at some stages so boots would be advisable.
There are some stiles to negotiate but they were all managed by our
Labrador Ben without needing to be lifted over any of them. There
are a couple of places where it would be wise to put your dog on a
lead due to the possibility of encountering animals. One field that
you need to cross contains horses.
Follow the waypoints to retrieve the clues.
