This site is a little sentimental for me as I went to what was
originally Buckhurst Hill County High School (
http://www.bhchs.co.uk
) which is located nearby.
I remember arriving in 1972 (oh, so long ago
now) and looking out of the window at what was then a field and
thinking “I’ll watch how that changes over the seasons”. The first
year was fine I saw the farmer ploughing the field and scattering
the good seed on the land so to speak. The next year was a
little different when the earth movers arrived to create the
cutting for the M11!
Park adjacent to the David Lloyd Sports Centre at N 51
37.748 E 00 03.870 (way point below). The cache is hidden in the
raised section which is a little steep for a buggy but good surface
otherwise – that is why I’ve set the terrain rating more than
one.
You are looking for a small (0.25l) circular clip lock plastic
box with a green Geocaching sticker on it. It will accept
small swaps and TBs / coins.
A few little goodies in there to start with
including a little owl necklace.
I had 25’ accuracy reported by the GPS when O and I set this
cache.
167 bus stops by the school. Nearest tube
stations Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. There are a number of other
caches nearby.
The M11 is adjacent, but completely fenced
off, there is *no* access what so ever from the motorway to the
cache site – don’t even think about stopping!
