Welcome
to the Chaos Crew’s first cache - enjoy :)
This should be a nice one to do with small children, as there is
not too much of a long walk involved, they will enjoy helping you
solve the puzzle, and there are ducks to feed, a little shop nearby
to buy an ice cream in, and a playground less than 5 minutes
away
(walk down the road from the cache site to the
railway bridge, go down the ramp and to your left, then turn right
up the little alley, left up to the crossroads and the playpark is
on your right)
The cache location is by a small pond, it can get a little muddy up
there sometimes, so do take wellies if it is/has been
raining.
The container is a small camouflaged box that is quite stiff to
open, you need to lever it open by pushing the tab on the lid up
with your thumb. Please close it tightly once you are done to
keep it waterproof. There is room inside for small trade
items and trackables. I have stuffed it full of nice goodies
to start it off, please do try to maintain the quality of the cache
by trading items you would like to find yourself.
First To Find prize is a trackable (but as yet unactivated) FTF
geocoin. I will also occasionally use this cache as a
dropping off point for trackables of my own, and am starting this
tradition by launching a geocoin whose mission is to visit the
lands of the Celts.
The co-ordinates listed are NOT the location of the cache, although
the cache is close by. They are the location of a suggested
parking spot (room for 2/3 cars) at the entrance to the pond
area. Alternatively you could park in the car park of the
Londis shop a short distance along the same road.
