Geocache Description:


This is a continuation of the series that Dorsetgal started in Dorset (GC1K6MX), after hearing about it how it got established in the US on the Podcacher Podcast, and which FantasticCat has continued in Greater London (GC1N994). Maybe in time it will become established nationwide.

The series so far...
1. Welchman (GC27QX6) - JFTF by alexrider and fossunited
2. North Downs Way (GC27YRA) - FTF by sham69
3. Cabbage Stalk Town (GC2909J) - FTF by Ian Too
4. The Damocles Option (GC29Q10) - FTF by Agglet
5. Leigh Lies Nearby (GC2AFMP) - FTF by richard701
6. Parked in the Priory (GC2B5VV) - FTF by Cache U Nutter

Guidelines for this series are below:
1. FTF'er should place the next cache in the series (in this case, The Curse of the FTF #2) within 1 month... Otherwise the curse will prevent you from ever getting another FTF again!!! Muhahahahahahahaha!
2. You can only be a FTF for this series once. This spreads the FTF love around, and gives others a chance to play along.
3. Cache can be any type of cache (Puzzle, Multi, etc.), but it should be set within the county of Surrey.
4. You must include this set of guidelines in your listing for the series.

By way of clarification, there is no requirement besides the standard signing of the cache log to prevent you from logging this cache when found. Everyone should log their find, and hopefully the FTF person will play along and place another cache, but it is in no way a requirement for logging your find.

Right on to the cache itself!

Elizabeth Welchman Gardens was given to the Borough of Epsom and Ewell in the will of Elizabeth Welchman on 18 October 1906. It is a small peaceful garden park, created out of an old chalk pit that was dug into what was once part of Epsom Downs. It would make a good place for you to stop for a sandwich-break while doing a tour of the other Epsom urban caches. The cache container is a small black box, suitable for little swaps and/or a couple of geocoins. It doesn't contain a writing implement so please bring your own. Also, please be aware that it is possible the gates to the park may be locked in the evenings- we are currently trying to establish official opening/closing times.
