Red 10 - Nice Spot For a Sit Down
The Milton Keynes Boundary Walk is approximately 65 miles long and follows the border of the MK Unitary Authority; it is waymarked with the Oakleaf symbol.
In 2012 a group a local geocachers divided the walk into sections and set a series of approximately 300 caches along the boundary. More information about the walk and caches can be found at the website Caching the Boundary.
The red section of the walk is approximately 6.5 miles long and starts at the A5 South of Aspley Heath, via Great Brickhill and ends in Newton Longville. The walk is mostly across farm land and in the middle part follows the Grand Union Canal.
There are 33 caches in this section - 24 traditionals, 6 letterboxes, 1 multi, 1 puzzle and 1 bonus. Each non-bonus cache contains a number to help you find the red bonus cache which is hidden towards the middle of the red section of the walk.
This is the 10th of the red section caches and is a 35mm film pot.
The co-ordinates will take you so a nice spot for a sit down. It would have been a nice spot for a cache too, but it's opposite the school so that's not allowed. Instead I've attempted a cheeky multicache. From your little seat, if you look left to right there are four 'signs' with numbers.....
AV (a)(b)(c)
H (d)(e) / (f)
(g)V / (h)(i)
(j)V / (k)(l) AC
Once you've got numerical values for all the letters in brackets, you'll need to do some sums....
N 51° (c)(a+b).(b+d)(e)(f)
W 000° (g+h)(h).(j-g)(i-k)(h+k)
The cache is a short walk away from your seat. Once you've found it you can continue in the same direction and then turn right onto Lower Way to reach Red 11, but there is no pavement along that road, so if you're with children and / or dogs, it's probably safer to return to the seat and then walk down Rotten Row.
