This multistage cache will take you on a pleasant walk around the
village of
Ufford. You firstly have to find two sets of clues, which take
you to a microcache with the coordinates of the final cache site.
The walk to the cache is just under a mile.
Parking is available at the village hall just past the church
(N52° 07.233 E001° 21.394) or in front of the church where
the first clues can be found (N52° 07.212 E001° 21.346).
Ufford is situated on the banks of the River Deben,
approximately 3 miles from Woodbridge. It gets its name from the
ford of Uffa, a Saxon chief. St Mary’s church was built in
the 12th century. It contains a magnificent ornately carved font
cover towering 18 feet high, which managed to survive the puritan
reformation of 1643. It’s worth a visit inside to see.
At the front of the church get the following clues:
The church gates were erected in ABB4.
(The Church Gates have been removed during
renovation work - the date you need is 1994)
C = the number of louvered arches to the top window of the
towers west face.
D = the number of holes in the stocks.
To complete the clues you now need to head up the lane from the
church to:
N 52° 07.2BD E 001° 21.CAC.
At this structure get the remaining clues:
E = the distance to Upper Ufford + the distance to
Loudham
F = the distance to Campsea Ashe
G = the distance to Ipswich – the distance to
Bromeswell
After a car crashed into the sign, the
distance markers were never replaced. You can get the answers
required by looking near to this point for something yellow with a
H on it.
E = The top number has 2 digits. Take the smaller away from
the larger one.
F = Take 3 away from the bottom number.
G = Add 1 to the number that appears twice.
Then continue along the lane in a northerly direction and take
the footpath into the meadows to the microcache at:
N 52° 07.EEF E 001° 21.FGB
In here you will find the coordinates to the final cache. You
are looking for a 3l lunchbox containing a selection of goodies and
a camera - please take a picture.
Enjoy your meander through the meadows!
