Bash&Dodge: Out on a beautiful day to finally close down the last of the AR Ring caches. Thanks to all those who have done and enjoyed these caches. We removed all the geo litter and containers. This one was in situ and not missing so we took the container

Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of some one hundred and forty caches set along The Aylesbury Ring, a circular footpath that follows a thirty mile route round Aylesbury.


Under development since the early 1980s, more details can be found here. A Bucks CC leaflet with further information and points of interest along the route can be downloaded from here.

For the purpose of these caches, The Ring is divided into seven sections (each named after a species of duck), and each section is designed to be done in a clockwise direction; if you choose to do otherwise, you will be causing yourself much unnecessary back-tracking.

Most of the caches are stand-alone, but within each of the seven sections is a bonus cache for which you will have to collect information from the other caches within that section. This information is in the format A=1. The bonus information is not interchangeable between sections.

In addition there is a Golden Egg Bonus cache. To find this, you will also have to collect information from all sections, although not all caches (and none in the bonus caches). This information is in the format 1=LZ. Refer to the Golden Egg Bonus cache page for what to do once you have all this information.

There is a mixture of cache types and sizes, and a variety of different hides. Some are straightforward, others a little more tricky, but not one is a 35mm film canister under a rock at the bottom of a post - although ivy may feature on occasions!

Once you have found the majority of the series and logged them online, you will qualify to go for the AYLESBURY DUCK GOLDEN EGG BONUS, set somewhere within The Ring.

Now, onto this cache:

Welcome to the Mandarin (Duck) section of the Aylesbury Ring series, running from a point along the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union canal to Wendover with a total of 24 caches.

This is the Ninth cache of this section, a straight forward offset Multi, in the village of Buckland and in the immediate vicinity of the given coordinates.


Firstly, find the post box, what is its post code HP22 ABA

What year was the nearby bench presented to the village 1CCD

Lastly what is the year on the Buckland Village Sign by the Village Hall 19EF


Now solve the the following to obtain the final co-ords
N 51° 48. A C B W 000° 42. E (C-F+A) D
