9 Withycombe Heights - The Treasure of Cortes Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Creativeowl: I have discovered why there is now an access problem as originally the farmer did not object to people crossing the field to gain access to & from the woods but unfortunately he found that some people were not closing the gate which resulted in his livestock escaping. [:(] Hence his new attitude & large padlock etc on the gate. So now time to archive the series. Thanks to everyone who did the series & all the wonderful logs.

Geocache Description:

Let me entertain you with a series of 12 caches.

Hints have not been given but there is a clue/hint in the title!


The walk is dog friendly but if you are taking your dog be warned that there is a stile between cache 7 & 8 that is "dog unfriendly" & you will have to lift your dog over.

The series has a mix of terrain - across fields, along restricted byway, through a wooded area & 2 short stretches of road. WARNING: you will be required to walk through a stream/very muddy path for a short stretch between cache 4 & 5 so suitable footwear is required.

There is parking available for this series - see Rocky the Rhino for co-ordinates.

You will need to bring a pen to sign the logs.

You are looking for an ammo box.

This cache contains a field puzzle element. To log a find you must sign the log book.

To access the cache you will need a 5 digit number which can be obtained by answering the following questions:-

In what year was Rocky the Rhino dropped from The Jungle Book film? 196?

How tall is Treebeard? 1? feet

How many children discovered The Faraway Tree?

Long John Silver served as quartermaster under which Captain? (Number of letters in surname.)

On what date was Gilderoy Lockhart sorted into Ravenclaw? 1 September 19?5

The cache contents are pirate orientated & I would be grateful if swaps could be kept to this theme.

Medals for 1st, 2nd & 3rd finders.
