The Thames Moorings series are a variation on the Thames Path
series. The caches are close to the Thames Path and accessible
to pedestrians. What differentiates them from others in the Thames
Path series is that they are placed near public moorings for the
floating equivalent of a "cache and dash", a sort of boating
Motorway Mayhem.
This cache has been moved from its original position due to
being vandalised by security guards, and should no longer be in
view of their camera. It is further from the moored boats, which
should make things easier, though it is now overlooked by a house.
The hiding place is identical except it is lower down, making
access more convenient, especially for wheelchair users.
This cache is very close to the river. Please take special care
to supervise children.
There is limited free parking nearby, but the path to the cache
gets muddy in wet weather. Alternatively there is chargeable
parking at Runnymede Pleasure Ground - if there are children in the
party you may want to spend some time there.
I have marked this cache as being wheelchair accessible.
However, it is on grass and close to the river. Handicache rating
H22111, rating given for approach from Pleasure Ground Car Park. If
any wheelchair user feels the attribute is inappropriately set,
please advise me.
Summary: The cache has
no real merit as a standalone cache, but contributes to the Thames
Path trail.
