This cache is Part 1 in a series of three. You will need to complete parts 1 and 2 in order to get the co-ordinates for the final part (it is recommended that you complete Part 1 first). Each of the three have their own standard cache container to find and are set within the area known as Sharpenhoe Clappers. The terrain is generally good (can get muddy in heavy winter) with a few gentle climbs/scrambles and is great fun for the kids.
Owned by the National Trust, Sharpenhoe Clappers is an attractive chalkland spur crowned by a graceful stand of beeches and an Iron Age fort. The hill rises to 525 feet, providing excellent views, and is fringed by Clappers Wood. Trails lead through the wood, and wildflowers abound in summer. It is in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Parking is available at N51˚ 57.266 W000˚ 27.054 and ‘refreshments’ are available a little further down the road. Part 1 – Indian Outpost? The co-ordinates will lead you to an outpost that, judging by the NUMBER OF ARROWS (X) was attacked from many different directions. Use this information to complete the co-ordinates below and find the real hidden cache. When you find the cache remember to take a card (or make a note of the latitude) so that you can also complete the final part of this series. N51˚ 57.43A where A = X+1 W000˚ 26.68B where B = X-4 The cache is a standard 2L container that has a small selection of children’s goodies. For the decent stuff you will need to find the final cache which has a much better selection to choose from. |

An easy find in a beautiful area. The cache seemed to have been disturbed by animals - bag torn, contents scattered but all bits still seem to be present! Dried it out & put it all back together. Many Thanks - on to Part 2......

Open Log: Non-commercial use only The relief that it is still here after this time. It had been visited in March too. Cache safe and well hidden to casual observers. The original out might have been changed a little. Left it nice and safe.

The cache has now been replaced and moved to a slightly different location. The cache description and spoiler have been changed to reflect this.

Open Log: Personal use only Found the site with no problem, however it has been vandalised and no sign of the cache at the designated spot. On a brief search around, found the remnants of the cache, a plastic bag thrown into the middle of a large thorn bush. Just a few items in the bag, a few small toys. Re buried the bag at the correct location under some moss slightly to the right of the bush. The problem is the required co-ordinates for the final part were missing. A find of sorts.
