Chester has been out on many cache hunts with us and has rather got to enjoy this pastime, so much so that he now recognises our GPSr and gets excited on seeing it. Recently he has been asking if we could help him create some caches of his own, so of course we agreed as he is not too good at this internet thingy (and if the truth be known he is only really any good at three things, walkeeees, spotting squirrels and burying bones, but don't tell him I told you that). He said that he would like them to be located in some of his favourite types of places that his doggie friends would like and suggested that one in each of the Oxford City Parks would be a good place. Foolishly we agreed to this before checking out how many parks Oxford actually has, and to our surprise their is eighteen of them. I hope you all enjoy this series of eighteen caches, and do post some picies for Chester, especially if you have one of his canine friends with you.
Fry's Hill Park
Fry's Hill Park lies between the Kassam Stadium, Fry's Hill and Greater Leys. It has a number of exciting facilities to suit all ages. From a street sport site to a monolith standing stone seating area…from a climbing bolder to a wildflower meadow. There are two play areas, one for children aged 0-6 yrs and one for the 6-12 yrs. The children from Windale First School had great fun officially opening them! There is also a bridge which takes you into the beautiful Spindleberry Nature Park.
Quite close to my home but rarely visited, not sure why they don't bring me here as it is an interesting park. Those standing stones seem rather odd, not sure if they are some sort of ancient Pagan place of worship, watch out for any druids!. Whilst here why not visit the nearby Spindleberry Nature Park, lots of squirrels here to play with, woof.
Chester has hidden a Bone'us cache full of special doggy treats for all those cacher's who have managed to complete his COPQ series. To find this cache you will need to collect the letters on the lids of all the COPQ caches, and use them to work out the start location for Chester's Bone'us. Be warned, you will have to go for Chester's favourite type of walkieeees to complete it; a long one.
