Geocache Description:


A simple multi-cache based on the Pyrford Stone.

The Pyrford Stone, in common with many other standing stones, is reputed to move around at midnight. The Stone was originally in the centre of the road, but was moved in 1976 when the road was widened. It is said that the Pyrford Stone measures one megalithic yard. On icy mornings it is not unusual to see a car in the ditch here, (maybe the Stone plays tricks in return for the disrespectful treatment it received) - drivers take care!

Find the following information from the plaque by the stone:

How many lines of writing in big letters (A)

How many lines of writing in small letters (B)

When was the plaque given? (CDEF)

The Final Cache can be found at:

N51 19.(D-E-C)(A-F)(B+C) W000 30.(A-B)(F-B)(E-F)

There is a small amount of car parking available at the waypoint given. Please take care with children as some walking close to a fairly busy road is involved in this cache.
