Geocache Description:


Finding this cache

This series mostly covers flat, well-maintained dirt footpaths alongside fields, but for a brief section at the North end you need to walk along a road. The speed limit is 20 at this point, as I'm sure you'll see when you reach the coordinates. Putting the cache back into its hiding place can be fiddly: take care and time to do it right so it resists water and stays hidden.

If you're exploring this series in a "loop", be aware that between here and GC9Z37K you'll need to walk along a road. There's a 20 limit for part of it, but this isn't always well-respected; give way to traffic and stay safe.

The Friar's Farm series

This cache is part of a series that loops around Friar's Farm in West Oxfordshire. This is a working farm and the footpaths run unfenced along or through the fields, so remember to keep dogs and children under control, especially when agricultural machinery is operating, and please stick to the footpaths (so long as you're following the geocache trail, this should be easy, but note that the driveway that runs North-South next to the windpump is private and should not be used as a shortcut!). All the paths are easily walkable, but most are not suitable for bicycles nor horses.

There's always something to see; depending on the time of year you're likely to spot farming at work, hares fighting, deer grazing, and/or a local sparrowhawk hunting for its dinner. In the autumn, the wild blackberries that along the West foorpath are especially large and sweet, and you're also likely to find an abundance of sloes, if you've the stomach for them!
