A traditional cache (my first) in the Bargate Woods above
Godalming. Some steepish paths or steps, but nothing you haven't
done before. Enjoy, I will watch the logs with interest.
Start from either of the waypoints listed.
Why "Beyond Narnia"? Well, when you get onto the path you will see
that you are in the woods, and yet, at Rest Point 1 (see waypoint
P4 below) you will find a lamp post and bench. Certainly very
Narnia to me and the kids who have affectionalely named this the
"Narnia Walk".
This whole area used to be used to quarry Bargate stone, and you
may still see pieces of it lying around.
To get to the final cache location, you need to head up the steps
to the right of the bench as you look at it, and after that you're
into unexplored country.
Box is Lock 'n' Lock 12cm square box and at the time of setting it
contained the following items:
- Log book
- Pencil
- Hippo Magic Bean
- Lion Magic Bean
- Dungeons and Dragons Minature Were Rat Model
- North Star Thermo Bug (TB) - my first TB to go out
- Travel Bear (TB)
- Big Ben Geocoin
- and, most importantly, a FTF Certificate for the lucky first
adventurer.
If you are very stealthy and come at dawn/dusk, you may get to see
some of the family of foxes that live nearby (not in immediate area
of cache).
Beware of muggles with dogs, this is quite a popular dog walking
route.
When you get close, use P5 to get down to the cache's level, other
ways in can be blocked by trees. And, as a final direction, you may
need to duck to get close enough to retrieve the cache, so I hope
you don't mind getting your trousers dirty!
Happy hunting.
