This cache is the final part in a series of three. You will need to complete parts 1 and 2 in order to get the proper co-ordinates for this cache. The waypoint co-ordinates above represent the general area only (parking) and will not help you find the cache. 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. Final Part – Delectable Mountain The views from the top of the Clappers explain why John Bunyan took this site for his 'Delectable Mountain' in "Pilgrim's Progress." To find the cache you will need to complete A Clappers Caper – Part 1 (Indian Outpost?). Inside this cache you will find the latitude that you will need. You will also need to complete A Clappers Caper – Part 2 (Robertson Remembered). In this cache you will be given the longitude. Put them together and you will have the co-ordinates that lead to this cache. I’m sure that being a religious person, John Bunyan would have been proud of your pilgrimage to this HOLY (well almost) hiding place. Please make sure that the cache is well hidden as many people pass along here. As well as the wonderful views on the way to this cache you will be rewarded with a better than average selection of goodies for the final cache of the series. Please feel free to take something but do leave something of a similar quality so that this cache remains a good reward for completing all three caches. The cache is a 2 litre container that originally contained the following: Microsoft IntelliPoint Mouse, personal organiser (in need of battery), crocodile bottle opener keyring, packet of seeds (legal ones), Disney Studio’s luggage tag, Disney mobile phone case, and not forgetting the kids – notebook keyring, animal snap, puzzle, noisy rattle, bursting bugs (sweats). The cache also contains a disposable camera. Please feel free to take a picture but try and make it fun, interesting, different etc. When the camera is developed there will be an open vote for the best piccy of the bunch. |

Open Log: Non-commercial use only Many Thanks for an enjoyable series in such a beautiful location. I was driving up from Cornwall to Northampton today & decided to detour over to search for these as "dual-listed" caches are fairly thin on the ground. Final box was quickly tracked down, cache in good order, took nothing & left nothing. Thanks G

Open Log: Personal use only As my comments on the previous parts of this 3 part cache, the North co-ordinate was missing from part 1 and so a miss and unable to find it.
