Rosanna, Ferdie, and friends Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Gackt: Checked on this one this morning. Confirmed the info board for the first stage has gone. I walked up to the area of the final, but was unable to locate the container (I am out of practice finding).

I will take a better look another day for the container to remove, and also because it's got a TB showing in it. If anyone wants the final coords so they can go and look for this one and grab the TB themselves then let me know.

Geocache Description:

This is an offset multi. If walking from the suggested parking area, this should not take longer than an hour to complete. The terrain is flat, and should be fine for buggies, through during winter it can become a bit muddy. There are a few of gates, but no stiles. There is water nearby, so keep an eye on any small children with you.

Take the winding gravel public footpath beside the football pitches, through the gates, and over the little foot bridge. There you will need to cross over quite a busy road, take care if you have little ones or four legged friends with you.

Once across and through another gate, follow the obvious path to the published coordinates. There you will find the below information which will give you the coordinates for the cache.

The cache can be found at:

If you have some extra time and want to walk on a bit further, continuing along the obvious winding path from the cache will bring you out at Keynes Water Park. This is about the same distance again which you have just walked for this cache. It is a pleasant walk with a variety of birds to be seen. You will be walking through active quarry workings though, and so stay to the public footpath and observe the signs.

Additional note on public footpaths around this area: Because of the constant quarry workings, paths change. Even recent maps may be inaccurate. Please be aware of this if you are planning a day out walking in this spot.

FTF note: I had a pound to put in there, but it's still in my pocket. If you catch up with me some time whilst out caching, mug me. Otherwise I owe you a drink if you catch me at an event sometime.

(Update: Congrats to Carrog for the FTF, and also for spotting a mistake on the cache page. Now updated.)
