Fleur de Lys
pub in Lowsonford
(famous for its pies)
Arriving by car ...
There's limited space on the tarmac section of the car park so the
landlady has asked us to fill up the car park from the top (north)
end, starting on this grassy
field which is on the left when you enter through the north
gate.
The ground here is ash soil and should remain firm even if it has
been raining heavily.
The landlord has agreed for people to use the car park before the
pub opens but please be aware that the pub will remain closed until
11am. The toilets will not be accessible before that
time.
I'm planning 7 new caches for the event
...
5 traditional caches that make a short
circular walk.
The route is 2 ¼ miles starting at the pub and can be made to
incorporate other caches in Lowsonford.
Alternatively, the eager beavers amongst you (you know who you are)
can bag these before the event as part of the "On the Catwalk"
series. The two series combined are a walk of 4 miles and 14
caches, starting at Yarningdale Common.
These new caches have been published:
2 puzzle caches will be released during
the event.
These are lateral thinking puzzles - no specialist knowledge or
internet access for googling information will be required.
You can team up or solve the puzzles solo. Hints will be available
at the appropriate time (hopefully they won't be
necessary).
2 new challenges
For those apprehensive or sceptical about getting involved in
challenges this is a good opportunity to experience them as part of
a group.
There will also be some fund raising for the
Mega event.
Unfortunately the skittle alley won't be available for a bowling
competition; however there will be a raffle with various
prizes.
