The Christmas series is a 5 mile circular walk of 29 caches.
The directions for this series of caches assume that you do the caches in sequence and this will also be best when when completing the Multi caches. The route follows canal towpaths, footpaths, bridle paths and roads in villages. There are a number of stiles and footpaths across fields which may become muddy. Although the series is suitable for children and dogs, care should be taken alongside the section of the canal, adult supervision is required at all times. Parking is available near cache #1 at the coordinates listed, in Gumley village or in Foxton village. Paid parking in available at Foxton Locks bottom car park.
