Bledingtons Bountiful
Caches
This series of caches is inspired by The
Chiltern Hundred in Chesham.
This is a walk in and around the village of
Bledington and also skirts the edges of Foscot, Bould and
Foxholes.
Whilst there are small sections of tarmac
footpaths, the majority of the walk is set on rural public
footpaths and bridleways and is not suitable for wheelchairs or
buggies. Depending on weather, the going at times can be extremely
muddy. As such, terrain is set at 2.5 throughtout the
series.
The series is essentially dog friendly
(there are some stiles to navigate), but please abide by the
various signs/notices regarding dogs on leads etc.
Please also note that at times you will
pass through fields that may contain livestock. We ask that you
respect their environment and well being.
We have tried to make this incorporate all
the things we look for when doing a series. So there's ample
parking (the published co-ordinates are to centre of
village), pleasant countryside, lots of caches of various
sizes, a bonus and of course the all important pub at the
end!
As with The Chiltern Hundred, each cache is
only a short walk from the last (the longest gap is approx
0.7miles) which will hopefully act as motivation to complete the
series!
(Please help us maintain the series by
reporting DNFs)
Writing implements have been provided in
some caches but please come armed with your own
pen/pencil.
The walk is approximately 9 miles, so we
think it could take around 5-6 hours to complete. As such, we also
recommend you bring plenty of supplies including notepad, water and
some food to help you on your way. Sensible footwear is, of course,
essential.
Please also note that this series
incorporates the previously solitary caches "J&Ts" and "Even Up
The Lode". To be fair to those cachers who have already logged
these as finds, no bonus code will be found inside (see
below).
All that's left to say is please drive
carefully through the village, park considerately, replace the
caches as found, with lids tight and camo in place (where
applicable) and we hope you enjoy the series!
Disabled caches:
None at present.

================================================
The
Bonus:
Located inside the
caches are codes. Use these codes to generate the co-ordinates for
the bonus cache. (Please note some caches do not contain
codes):
N51.QR.STU
W001.VW.XYZ
Q = K+G-A
R = E+B-I
S = (L+D)*M
T = J-C-G
U = F+H+A
V = F+D+M
W = J+B-E
X = (C-I)*K
Y = (H+L)*G
Z = A+B-E
GOOD
LUCK!!!
================================================
Having
successfully completed the series and located the Bonus, navigate
back to the parking, stopping off at the pub for a well deserved
drink!
