Geocache Description:

A 6 mile walk along Hampshire countryside tracks and paths. Can be rather muddy in places, so go prepared.

THE CO-ORDINATES ABOVE ARE NOT THE START OF THIS MULTI-CACHE, BUT IT IS IN THE CORRECT VILLAGE. Take your binoculars (to avoid trespassing) and a pen and paper. It's great for bikes if you don't fancy walking that far.(only about half a mile to walk if using bikes). There is no requirement for your GPS to find the start of the trail. Just solve the clue below:.

"Truly a Hampshire born maid

Her stories will surely not fade

Her spirits were Boyed

When she'd visit Miss Lloyd

Now find the house where she stayed"

When you get there, take a look round and find what year you could start to rest your weary geocaching legs. =ABCD

If you're having trouble getting started, email me and I will give you a pointer.

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 17.430 W 001 27.130

Rather in danger of dents

Tiles would make much more sense,

They take lots of care, For plenty of air,

Now step back and count all the vents. =E

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 17.557 W 001 27.171

He looks like he's reaching for stars,

Or possibly half way to mars,

Binoculars needed,

Next to sign must be heeded,

The numbers like on the old cars. =FGH

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 18.5111 W 001 27.920

This one manufactured from lumber,

The arrow is usually with thunder,

Though smaller it's clear,

It could still cost you dear,

He's dead but look at the number. =IJ

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 17.770 W 001 28.936

The small one is hardly a belter,

If the rain should come down helter skelter,

A fiver I'd bet,

The feed would get wet,

How many hold up the shelter =K

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 18.626 W 001 28.359

It's testing but look at the pole,

The FIRST of the letters the goal,

White letters in green

Can surely bee seen,

Then to the next clue you can stroll.

If a=1 b=2 c=3 d=4 e=5 f=6 g=7 h=8 i=9 j=10 k=11 etc. Then letter = LM

 

The next clue is to be found at:- N 51 17.799 W 001 27.555

Now the last spot you have found,

How many are causing that sound?

Don't be in a rush,

You really must hush,

Then to the geocache you'll be bound. = NO (An odd number)
