The cache is located within a couple of hundred yards of a parking area. It is relatively easy ground to cover for pushchairs or strollers although i imagine it may cause wheelchair users some problems. The cache itself will require a bit of 'grubbing around' to locate...
The co-ordinates supplied are not to the cache itself but to the corner of a building. A short walk (approx 200ft) north-east along the woodline should put you in the right area and the hint (together with the cache name) should give the rest away...
The cache itself is a small tupperware box containing a few goodies for the kids. This is the first cache placed by 'Mack n' Jolly' of the Mr Yes clan and we hope you like it. I made the decision not to give the co-ordinates of the cache itself as i didn't want it to be too easy but as it's our first I'd appreciate any feedback you may have.
The cache itself is easy to access but leads on to some very nice walks in the woods around Nettlebed which, whilst not too trying for most would be very difficult for prams and nigh on impossible for wheelchairs due to undulating terrain, mud and roots.
Nettlebed is a village in Oxfordshire, England. It has a population of around 700. It is located approximately four miles north-west of Henley-on-Thames , four miles south-east of Wallingford on the A4130, in the Chiltern Hills.
History
Despite not being mentioned in the Doomsday book, archaeological finds prove the area around Nettlebed has been inhabited since palaeolithic times.
The site was frequently travelled through since ancient times, being a pass through the Chiltern hills along which the Oxford to Henley road passes.
Nettlebed's nearby clay pits helped establish a tradition of pottery making, which is documented since the 9th Century. It became an important site for brick making in the 14th Century, brick making continued until the 1930's. Today one remaining pottery kiln is preserved in the village.
The sand used in the manufacture of the first flint glass was sourced from Nettlebed by George Ravencroft in 1674.
