If you wish to do this as a trail here's how I did it!
and here's the
list of caches!
Before being brought together under a single Town Council,
Linslade was in Buckinghamshire and Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.
An urban series of caches celebrating the history of
Leighton-Linslade will be published soon.
The Leighton-Linslade Trail is an approximately 6 mile circular
walk. Some parts of may can be done as a "cache-n-dash" and others
can be picked off as mini-walks. Either way, it's up to you how you
play the game!
The walk involves urban and rural walks, canals and fields.
Children should be kept on leads and dogs and other family will (at
many points) need to be watched carefully. Like all caches, there
are dangers and pitfalls that may need to be addressed. None of
these caches are in dangerous places (hopefully) although some are
near water (not too near!)
The Grand Union Canal links
Birmingham to London with a waterway which is 145 miles long and
contains 166 locks. This cache is one of a series to be found along
or close to the Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire stretch of the
canal.
As you wander along this part of the canal, you'll see that
there is a Bridge 110 (Old Linslade), Bridge 111 (The Globe) and
then a Bridge 114 (Leighton-Linslade / Tesco bridge)
So you may be asking yourself, what happened to Bridge 112 and
113?
Well, it appears that Bridge 112 was a
swing bridge. Problem is, these days it is overgrown, disused
and bridges nothing but a field! I can't find any history on it so
if anyone wants to help, I'd be very interested. Likewise, if
anyone knows which troll ate Bridge 113
This cache container is a well stocked SMALL PLASTIC TUB. It
contains a log book and some small items. It will house a small TB
or coin
If you live in the area, please consider coming to our
Geocaching event which will be held very close to this cache
