Geocache Description:

A number of caches between Chatburn and the lovely village of Downham, all over relatively good paths and easy terrain. A total distance of approximately 4 miles.

There are a total of 13 caches, along this route, six of which will contain a reasonably easy question, the answers to which will give you the co-ordinates for for the cache Finale at N 53 AB.cd4 W 002 FG.hi0. (A short drive of about 3 miles from Chatburn). Also in thelids of four of the containers will be a number, you must note these in order for later in your quest. Most of the containers will be of the small ‘ clip & lock ‘ type box with room for small swaps, TB’s or coins. The final box, a little larger, will contain a goody bag for the FTF containing a mini treasure chest and a non activated Travel Bug. The swaps in this box are of two different kinds:- At the time the cache was hidden there was:- 1. A PC game containing 6 CDs of 3 different games (never used) (War Games) 2. A child’s PC game (Barbie) 3. A 4 port usb mini hub 4. A desk top clock. If any of these are taken for swaps, I would ask they are swapped for a similar type ‘goody’ in order to keep the theme going. There will also be the usual type of swaps in the box, and a new TB. Suggested items to take with you are: Pen/Pencil and paper Phone (just in case you want to PAF) And of course your map. If anyone wishes to confirm their co-ordinates for the finale, by all means contact me via e-mail me. The above co-ordinates are not those of the cache, but of the suggested parking place for it. The landowners, United Utilities who have kindly allowed this cache to be placed have requested that it be searched for ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS, I.E. BETWEEN AN HOUR AFTER DAWN AND AN HOUR BEFORE SUNSET, as this land is often used for deer stalking. The treasure chest is at an altitude of approximately 1200 feet, so please wear appropriate clothing. ===================Congratulations to GYMZOO on being First to Complete the Quest====== Once you have completed ALL of this series, you have earned the right to display this medal on your caching profile.
