Distinguished Residents of Buckinghamshire #2 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Birding Bob: I enjoyed putting together this series of puzzles based on distinguished people who have at some time resided in Buckinghamshire, learning something about them in the process. Visiting the caches to remove the containers is a process tinged with sadness but one that brought back many happy memories. Many thanks to those, more than a hundred in total, who took the trouble to solve the puzzles and visit this attractive area to search for the caches.

To make removal easier for the next finder, please take care when replacing the log sheet in the container to have the clip at the TOP of the container. There is good parking at the trail head.
