Village signs is a series of caches based on the ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (normally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably stated in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!
<br /><strong><font color="darkgreen">If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do. I would ask that you let <a href="https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?id=5920844">Smokeypugs</a> know first at <a href="https://villagesignseries.co.uk">www.villagesignseries.co.uk</a> so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.</font></strong><br />
This cache is in Cowes famed for its Yachyting history and most famously Cowes week. It seemed apt to have this cache released during Cowes week. There are some spectacular sights in the water to behold.
This cache is NOT on the sign but very close.
