Geocache Description:

Nostalgia Trip is a series of five caches not far from the A580, East Lancs Road. As well as a journey through South Lancashire it is also a journey into the past... more specifically the early 80's when I were a lad!

The five caches in the series are:
Nice Cup of Tea
Coal Not Dole
ZX81
The Adventure Game
When All This Were Just Fields
It is strongly advised to do them in this order. You will need coordinates from the first two caches to find the third and fourth, which in turn contain the coordinates for the final cache.

The East Lancashire Road was the first inter-city highway to be built in the UK and was opened in 1934. It links Liverpool and Manchester and runs a course just north of the UK's first inter-city railway line. It was also the first British road to feature a central reservation. In recent years it has been overshadowed somewhat by the nearby M62, but it is still a busy route.

The first cache in the series is placed not far from Dam House, an impressive early seventeenth century house containing a Heritage Tea Room of which I am particularly fond! What better way to prepare for a trip down memory lane than to sit down with a nice cup of tea and possibly a slice of cake?

There is plenty of parking at this location. The container is a small green canister. It contains a number known as "A" which you will need to note down in order to complete this series.

Following feedback, as there is a large wall near the cache location I feel it only fair to tell you which side you should be searching on! The cache is on the east side of the wall, amongst the trees.
