The co-ordinates are for the Wellow Pinfold
not far from the Bonus Cache of the Wellow Nature Trail. To obtain
the co-ordinates for the actual cache you must have solved the
puzzle at each of the 15 caches along the trail. At each cache you
will find a physical object (Nature Trail Based), name the object
and then use a letter (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) to find a number in the
below key. When you have found all the numbers you will have the
co-ordinates for this bonus cache. |

Example:
If the item found was a BADGER and the clue is _ _ _ * _ _ you
would be looking for the 4th letter in the word Badger. Use that
letter to look up the corresponding number in the key above (G =
0). Place the 0 in order of clues found which will give you the
final co-ordinates for the bonus cache.

Good Luck!
The bonus cache is a large container with
lots of nature trail themed goodies inside along with the usual
logbook. If you have enjoyed the hunt or have any comments about
any of the clues etc we would love your feedback + any photos you
took on the way. After finding the cache, continue down the path to
the pinfold (stone construction on your left).

The Pinfold History
The Pinfold was erected in 1842, after the
Inclosures Act for the purpose of holding straying stock until the
Toft Holders committee could assess what fines were appropriate to
be charged to their owners. The Inclosure Acts was a series of UK
Parliament Acts which affected the common land in Wellow. This
meant that the rights that people once held to graze animals on the
common land were denied. A typical fine was; for each Beast - One
shilling, for each Sheep - Two pence with a minimum charge of One
shilling.
To head home: Turn right and walk into the
village – Stop off to enjoy the village green with one of the
few surviving maypoles in the country. Traditional maypole dancing
still takes place here annually each spring bank holiday Monday.
Why not treat yourself to a drink in one of the villages fine
watering holes; “The Durham Ox” or the more quaint
“Red Lion” (because you’ve earnt it!) To reach
your starting point, continue walking along the main road. At
Wellow House School take a sharp right turn; the Dam can be seen
approx 100 yards on your right together with your awaiting
transport home!
