Geocache Description:

A fairly easy location on level ground, with plenty of places to park nearby.


The cash is a largeish tupperware box containing:

  • Disposable Camera, please take a picture and put it back
  • Bicycle puncture repair kit
  • packet of shoelaces
  • Cricket Ball
  • Whistle
  • DB25<>DB15 serial converter
  • Packet of staples
  • Bottle ppener
  • Some plastic toy soldiers
  • Thunderbird toy
  • 1.50 Irish Punts

The site, Cublington Spinney was planted in the 1970's by Buckinghamshire County Council to celebrate the overturning of a descision to site London's third airport here. Had it gone ahead then this area and the surrounding villages would have been leveled to make way for a four runway international airport. There is a monument and plaque in the parking area on the eastern side of the road and some background here.

If you park in the obvious parking area, then you may end up crossing a road which is straddled by the spinney. Take a little care whilst doing this as, whilst it is a relatively quiet country road, the location is at a junction on a blind bend with long, wide straights on either side which means that traffic can be travelling quite quickly.
