Geocache Description:

The second of a short series of puzzles remembering the papermaking industry of the Wey Valley. The cache is hidden near the site of a paper mill - it is not at the above co-ordinates.

Stolen gold

Today Hindhead is a well-known beauty spot. However in the eighteenth century it was notorious for its highwaymen and criminal gangs.

One story tells of a portmanteau containing a quantity of gold that was cut off from a post-chaise at Hindhead. The thief, a man called Pim, used this money to buy some land, and built two paper mills there. It was said that the mills never prospered, one reason being their inaccessibility.
