WWW#6 – www.geochecker.com Traditional Cache

Join TT and I on a lovely little walk around the west end area of Witney out into the lovely village of Poffley End that I drive through each day on the way to work and onto Hailey and back again. Put out to commemorate the move of the family home from one side of Witney to the other in 2011, please enjoy the Witney Westend Wander!

Series Description :

To acknowledge the reliance we Geocachers have on technology, a personal love of mine, and the WWW acronym of this series commemorating my move to the west of Witney, each one has been named after a particular Geocaching website that we find useful, interesting or informative.

Series Info:

A series of traditional caches in a walk approximately three miles long and which should take about two and a half hours to complete. There are twelve caches in this series in total, starting from and returning to the parking opposite the Canon Pool Service Station on Hailey Road where any refreshments needed before or after the walk can be found.

The series is almost entirely flat and uses fairly well marked Public Footpaths some of which you will see are ancient roads. Should be okay for dog cachers but there are a few styles you will have to carry your pet over and for that reason I’m afraid isn’t buggy or disability friendly. It is a great family walk out for little cachers too though and although there are some fields with horses in they showed no interest in us.

The route takes you into the villages and there are a couple of bits by the road but there are footpaths alongside at each point - please take care but it is safe.

This Cache:

www.geochecker.com – A simple tool to check coordinates for Geocaching puzzle caches. It's completely free, and it's very easy to use! Very useful if you set any puzzle caches as Geocachers can check they have the right answer before they disappear into the wilds!

This is the sixth in the series and is the hard one I’m afraid! It is a small, half-inch plastic tube that contains just a logbook.

After this cache walk straight on up the footpath, or wherever you are walking if you're avoiding water, you then come out into a grassy area just up from a house, walk straight across the grass to the road in front of the house (Swanhall Farm) and turn left until you get into Poffley End.
