This cache has been archived.

NickPick: Well, I've replaced the cache, but since it's got a new container, new location and is an offset multi, I've decided to archive this one and set it up as a new cache, so you can all go out and log it again.

Thanks for watching, NickPick

A simple cache as it's my first placement.

MAGIC ROUNDABOUT MAYHEM

The Plough Roundabout, or as it is now known, The Magic Roundabout, was originally constructed as a conventional roundabout, but in the early seventies, the traffic planners took some mind altering substances, and came up with this design:

This essentially means you can go around this roundabout either way! Apparently, on the first day of operation in June 1973, traffic came to a standstill and backed up to Berkhamsted. Drivers eventually got used to it although you still see the odd motorist causing chaos. This cache gives you an ideal opportunity to experience the delights of the magic roundabout, and it's ideally appreciated when it's busy rather than at night-time. The park here is quite nice for Hemel. There are some nice flower beds, and when I placed the cache, the tulips were in full bloom. There are always ducks, geese and swans in the river, and you can quite often see a Heron fishing here aswell. There's some more information about Hemel and the roundabout at these websites: H2G2 Hemel Hempstead History The cache itself The cache is a small cylindrical tupperware container. Be careful of the muggles. Note: The cache is not on the central island of the roundabout.
