THESE COORDINATES ARE NOT FOR A CACHE, BUT FOR CAR PARKING
AVAILABILITY. (Please take care here, as it is a residential
parking area) This is my first attempt at giving something back to
the “geocaching community”, I hope you enjoy. (IT MAY
ALSO BE AN IDEA TO HAVE TWEEZERS OR SUCH LIKE TO REMOVE THE LOG
FROM SOME OF THE CONTAINERS) These caches are
“dedicated” to my good mates R_See & Ay_gee, hence
the names of the caches. These two guys were good enough to
introduce me to this “caching thing” a couple of years
ago. We have been through a lot together, such as cycling, motor
biking, camping & holidays. We often all go out together
caching, sometimes whilst the girls are doing their own thing.
Ay_gee also initially set me up with my PDA / GPS etc to get me
going. (And he calls his son a geek!) I couldn’t wish for two
“better mukkas”. This circular route starts & ends
in my own village of Bovingdon. Bovingdon is an attractive village
on the edge of the Chilterns, midway between Hemel Hempstead and
Chesham. Bovingdon's most recognisable landmark is the timber
memorial protecting the village well at the bottom of the High
Street. It commemorates the life of Granville Dudley Ryder who
helped provide the village with piped water in the early 19th
century. The first church was built in 1235 but Bovingdon did not
become a separate parish from Hemel Hempstead until 1833. The St
Lawrence Church of England is a splendid building with a large
churchyard. It was rebuilt in 1845 with the exception of the tower,
under which is placed an early fifteenth-century effigy of a
knight. Bovingdon Airfield was developed in 1941 and used as a base
for the US Air Force during the Second World War. Among the
visitors to the base were Big Band leader, Glenn Miller and
Hollywood actor, Clark Gable. The runways still exist today but the
hangers were replaced by HM Prison, 'The Mount', in 1988. The
airfield is now home to Bovingdon Market and also used for Short
Circuit racing. The route is mainly footpath orientated, (it can
get quite muddy in the winter months, & is not always
wheelchair friendly) - with a few styles to hurdle here &
there. It takes in of some of the local villages, (and pubs if you
get a little thirsty on route), with some of the best views of the
Chilterns & its natural wildlife. Please note that these
readings were taken on a bleak day in January, when the trees were
bare – these may vary in the summer months when the trees are
in full bloom Not all caches will have clues to the final
coordinates for the bonus. BONUS CACHE COORDINATES – N 51 42.
