Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of some one hundred and forty caches set along The Aylesbury Ring, a circular footpath that follows a thirty mile route round Aylesbury.

Under development since the early 1980s, more details can be found here. A Bucks CC leaflet with further information and points of interest along the route can be downloaded from here.

For the purpose of these caches, The Ring is divided into seven sections (each named after a species of duck), and each section is designed to be done in a clockwise direction; if you choose to do otherwise, you will be causing yourself much unnecessary back-tracking.

Most of the caches are stand-alone, but within each of the seven sections is a bonus cache for which you will have to collect information from the other caches within that section. This information is in the format A=1. The bonus information is not interchangeable between sections.

In addition there is a Golden Egg Bonus cache. To find this, you will also have to collect information from all sections, although not all caches (and none in the bonus caches). This information is in the format 1=LZ. Refer to the Golden Egg Bonus cache page for what to do once you have all this information.

There is a mixture of cache types and sizes, and a variety of different hides. Some are straightforward, others a little more tricky, but not one is a 35mm film canister under a rock at the bottom of a post - although ivy may feature on occasions!

Once you have found the majority of the series and logged them online, you will qualify to go for the AYLESBURY DUCK GOLDEN EGG BONUS, set somewhere within The Ring.

Now, onto this cache:

This cache is based on one that N0hope and I found in Cambridgeshire when we were on our way to Norfolk in August 2013.

At the given co-ordinates you will find a torch (Slightly Camoflaged!). It is seriously "Underpowered".

THE TORCH IS NOT THE CACHE - BUT IS REQUIRED TO FIND IT

Use the torch without removing it far from it's location to pinpoint the actual cache. This can be done in daylight or at night if the torch has sufficient power.

Good Luck and remember to place the cache and the torch back exactly where you found them.

Oh and bring a pen or pencil, the cache is too small to hold one!

Do not describe in your log what you have found or not found as to give each cacher the same chance.

Please note that the only way of getting to this cache is by crossing fields of crops. In the winter when the fields have been ploughed the terrain can be quite muddy.
