Mrs Blorenge thought she’d mark her birthday with this Piscean
themed cache. It can be found in a piscatory part of Bristol, close
to a piscine place.
Suggested parking is at Vassals car park at N51º 29.220 W2º 31.627
This lovely area of parkland was originally the estate of Oldbury
Court. The estate house no longer exists, but the site is still
known by many as “Vassalls”, after the last family who lived there.
With its winding paths, drives and scenic views along the River
Frome, the estate was designed by Sir Humphrey Repton to maximise
enjoyment of the natural environment. Today the whole park is very
“family friendly” with all the usual facilities. The route to the
cache location is easy walking although the last 40 ft will require
some weaving and ducking through bushes. The easiest “final
approach” is from the lower path near the pond, rather than from
the higher grassy field (See Spoiler Pics).
The original cache contents follow the fishy theme and include a
Pisces mug, earrings, nail brush, Pisces book, stickers, thimble,
cowrie shell, logbook and pen.
Our thanks to the Community Park Manager (East & North East)
at Bristol City Council for giving permission for this Geocache
placement.
