Geocache Description:


Firstly, the cache is not at this location, but it is not far away.

You can park your car near to "Istead Rise Treasure Hunt 1", you will be returning there later.

In order to find it you will need to find the ten caches in the "Istead Rise Treasure Hunt" series. Each of the Treasure Hunt caches contains one co-ordinate to help find this cache.

This cache is a lunch box sized plastic box. It contains a log and small swaps.

Before you begin the treasure hunt arm your self with some tweezers and an OS or street map of the estate. Please bring a pen as none are provided.

The treasure hunt has been designed in the style of an old fashioned car rally. At each cache location you will need to solve a simple mystery to find the cache. It doesn't matter which order you find the ten caches, as long as you find them all. There will be some deliberate double backing, but you can reduce this by checking your map. The whole walk is approx 4 miles in total and could be completed on a mountain bike. About 80% of the route is on street pavement, making for easy walking. There is a small section with no pavement, please take care there. Istead Rise is quite hilly and you will be going up and down and back up again, so be prepared!

Good luck and I hope you enjoy.
