"HAVE A BREAK ..... HAVE A JUNCTION BREAK!" M6
Junction 15 - 16: A500 Series
# 6 'Old Karate'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know about any other cachers but I get soooo bored going
up and down the motorway - and there is nothing worse than hearing
that there are QUEUES AHEAD! arrghh ... "stay on or get off .. stay
on or getoff???" then you end up contemplating so much that you
miss the slip road and have to stay on, sometimes for hours!
*yaaawn*
Now - with living in S-o-T i know how long and boring J15 - J16
is (and vice versa) and there can be so many traffic jams! might be
nothing but then you get the crane necks gawping at nothing and
slowing everybody down (we all do it!)
So if you fancy like slipping off at one of these junctions and
heading on down (or up) the A500, then you will be pleased to know
that I have put out a series of 10 caches along the A500 to keep
you amused while you sneak ahead of all the traffic on the motorway
and jump ahead a junction.
Caches numbered 1 - 8 are meant to be nice quick and easy cache
and dashes, a couple you barely even have to step a foot out of the
car! (thats if you park in the right place heehee) They are either
35mm Canisters or click and lock boxes for swaps.
Caches number 9 and 10 are the BONUS caches!! There is 1 placed
North and 1 placed South close to the Juntion slip road. To get the
actual co-ords for these you need to collect ALL of the other
caches numbered 1 - 8. Inside each one, written somewhere on the
log there is a letter and a number (eg A=9) collect all of these
and get the BONUS cache before you join the motorway again.
EASY!!
NOW - the fun part is ... instead of your boring old usual
geoswag in the bonus caches, I have placed a PRIZE for the FTF - a
cool prize and a booby prize heehee - in one there is a poor little
badge, in the other I have placed a memory stick that I have never
used patiently waiting inside its gift box for someone to collect
it --- BUT which bonus cache is it in? who knows!!! I made them
look the same, filled them up - then got Lindiloo to mingle them
round ... i have nooo idea :o)
SO - what you waiting for? Take the next slip road and get
hunting! The caches will take you off the A500 briefly but all you
need to do then is get back on again - all the caches are close to
the A500 so you wont have to go far from it. For the little
geocachers in the car there might be some fun stuff to do on the
way if the grown ups will let you out of the car for a bit of a
break before joining the motorway again!

All caches have been placed in good faith, please take care when
you park and put your safety first at all times.
