Geocache Description:

A visit to some remote woods in Bedford.


This cache is inspired by Shakespeare's comedy As You Like It. I found a special spot in the woods which reminded me of this play as the exiled group took up residence at a pleasant spot in the Arden Forest. If I had to live in these woods, this is the spot I would pick. A synopsis of the play as well as the full text can be found here. Recently, a film adaptation of the play was directed by Kenneth Branagh and starred Brian Blessed and Kevin Kline. I think these guys walk on water, but I just couldn't get comfortable with the concept of this production setting in feudal Japan.

While exploring these woods after doing a nearby cache, I came across a great spot that I just had to share with everyone. When you get there, you'll see what I mean. It's a bit of a bushwhack to get there, but I you'll think it worth it.

"All the world 's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts."
(Act II, Scene VII)

"I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it"
(Act II, Scene IV)

Like all my other Shakespeare caches, you do not have to read the play to find the cache.

Please Note

  • There are several ways to drive close to this cache but they are over roads on private property. Please park and enter the area anywhere between the two parking coordinates that I have given.
  • There is a Rod & Gun club nearby that has a rifle range. You may hear gunfire at almost any time. The cache is not in the firing line. You should not, however, venture any further east than the cache.
  • The cache is a medium sized lock & lock.
  • This cache was released at at Bread & Roses 6 (GC15JKW).
