4 miles south of Cambridge along the appropriately named Hills Road (A1307) you come to the Gog Magog Hills where you will find an ancient hill fort dating back to the Iron Age. This is the location for Wandlebury Country Park, owned and managed by Cambridge Past, Present and Future. link
By Bus: Take the green Park & Ride Bus to the Babraham Road terminus, and walk up the hill (1.5 miles). Or Stagecoach 13/13A/X13 service (Cambridge-Haverhill)
By Cycle: Follow the A1307 out of Cambridge. There is a cycle lane or off-road path all of the way out. There are secure cycle racks in the car park. No cycling in the Park, please.
By Car: The car park is signposted off the A1307. There is a £3 parking fee.
This multicache is based upon the permanent orienteering course in the Park. You don't need to know about orienteering to complete the exercise. If you want, you can use a map during or after the exercise. These can be purchased from the Office (N 52 09.499 E 00 10.943) Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm or from the kiosk in the car park Sundays 11am - 4pm.
There are toilets below the clock tower.
You will see highland cattle and sheep in the park. Their exact location varies from week to week so you will find some areas fenced off which might affect your ability to complete the exercise.
The coordinates above are for an orienteering marker post 400 metres from the car park.
On each marker post is a letter and number. The letter must match the waypoint ref. Write down the number on the post.
