This is the first of five themed caches around Gerrards Cross common. This is 'Three Steps To Heaven' by Eddie Cochran who, sadly, was killed before it made No1.
Gerrards Cross common covers around 32 Hectares and is immediately to the North of the A40. West Common and East Common form a curved Northern edge and it is bisected North / South by Packhorse Road.
There are areas of open grassland which include a children's play area and a football pitch. There are also two ponds and two large wooded areas. It is in these areas of mainly silver birch with some holly that the caches are placed.
There is a network of paths crossing the common and the caches are all quite close to a path. The main paths are pushchair and wheelchair friendly, side paths can vary in accessibility. There is a new wheelchair friendly path skirting the common along West and East Commons. Cycling is permitted with priority given to walkers.
There is free parking in marked bays ( 1 hour limit except evenings and Sundays) around both East and West Common, but unrestricted to the Eastern end, close to cache No 1. There is also a Pay & Display car park in Packhorse Road, while the supermarket near the railway station allows up to 3 hours free parking.
This cache is placed with the kind permission of Gerrards Cross Parish Council. The cache is a small clip lock box in a camo bag. There is room for small swaps and trackables. It is at the stated co-ords but you will need to do a little research in order to access the box.
Step 1... The date of Eddie Cochran's birthday in October 1938
Step 2...The number of the month in 1960 that this record went to No1
Step 3...Eddie Cochran released only one U.K. album, in 1958, before his death. How many words were in the title of this album?
The three answers to these questions should give you access to the cache container.
