Advice on Trails

[jwheeler13]

Hi were a family wanting to go on a 3 to 6 mile countryside walk (preferably a circular trail) looking for Geocaches. Somewhere around the Midlands or Home Counties (but south of Derby) would be great! All advice gratefully received!

I'm not from your area so can't personally recommend anything however try having a look at http://www.geocachetrails.com/ which lists trails round the country.

I liked;

 

http://coord.info/GC20KZD it's a touch hilly though.

 

http://coord.info/GC1V1Z3 not sure if it is a true trail but it will keep you busy.

 

Haven't checked they are within the scope of your area my geography is not good.

Have a look at the geocaching.com Map, just above the logs on any cache page. Drag it to the area you want to cache in and you can see what circular routes there are.

Poshrule and others have hidden lots in the area between Leicester, Peterborough and Kettering, mostly between 4 and 6 miles with upwards of 20 caches.

I'm just looking at what we can do on Saturday and am considering 3 loops, 4.2 miles with 28 caches, 6.4 miles with 26 and 4.4 miles with 23. I think all 3 might be a step too far, but we will probably complete 2 of them.

I use Memory Map to measure the distance, but the first cache of a series often gives you an idea how far it is.

Steve.
