Canalmania 5 - GHOST TRAIN
(Bucks)
This cache takes you closer to the Wendover end of the Arm to
visit a disused railway line which once crossed the canal, joining
Halton with the Wendover branchline. There's a very atmospheric
walk over a bridge and away from the light into a rather spooky
tunnel in the trees. Which means there's horrible cover on this
one, so good luck. I hope your GPS was better at getting a signal
than mine was.
If you want to do these caches in reverse order I suggest you
park in Wendover, around N51° 45.945 / W000° 44.458. Of
course, if you're doing these in numerical order just follow your
GPS from Canalmania 4.
So get on your bike and have a happy hunt! It's worth noting I
deliberately set these caches in locations far from road access. No
cache and dashing here but you could find all five inside an hour
if you have the leg muscles and lungs for it.
Each small (0.24ltr.) cache originally
contained:
1x Candle
1x Toy car
1x Party popper
Plus the usual: Cache notice, microlog & small pen.
The other caches in this series are:
1 - BORDER RAID
2 - LONELY CHURCH
3 - ROTHSCHILD BRIDGE
4 - SWAN LAKE
While you're in the area, I suggest you try Dan & Pid's
The Chiltern Summit or my own
Wendover Wamble! cache. They're both within short
driving or cycling distance.
A small experiment - Please feel free to
rate your visit to this cache out of ten in your
log.
