Geocache Description:


This series of caches was set to complement the Ding Dong it's in The Bell (GC1WWAF) event held in Castle Hedingham on 27 September 2009. Superbly organised by SPO and Mum, this event was the first (hopefully of many) held in the Hedingham/Halstead area. It is a circular walk of about 4 miles taking in some of the beautiful countryside around Castle Hedingham. During the walk it is necessary to cross a couple of roads so please be careful.

Each cache contains clues needed to find the bonus cache and a badge for the FTF. One of the caches contains a very special FTF prize as well!

You are looking for a small green container slightly larger than a 35mm film cannister. Don't forget to get the bonus clues!

From this cache it is possible to get some great views of Hedingham Castle through the trees.

After finding this cache, retrace your steps back to the telegraph pole (N:51 59.342; E:0 36.261) and cross the field. The path across the field was not very well defined at the time of setting but there is a waymarker in the hedge pointing the correct way.
