Geocache Description:

Artwork sign #6 At Myland Chase gate,entranc to Highwoods Country park. The park is 150 hectares of park with ancient woodland grazing marshland & visitor centre.The artwork is near the gate'

With kind permission of Local artist Michael Goody allowing us to incorporate his inspirational Viewfinder Trail we have placed a series of caches nearby his works on the trail. Michael was my sculpture tutor during the planning and creation of the artwork. The trail is actually a 17.5m cycle route starting in GB's Oldest recorded town of Colchester, but each of the 10 caches can be found individually by other means of transport.
Michael was inspired by Lucien Passoro's landscape view across Hilly fields,also by the Colchester sky line fearuring The Town Hall & Jumbo Water tower. At each location Michael placed an artwork depicting the view, each piece giving the initial appearance of a road sign,but are in fact meticulously handmade paintings.
The Trail is an artwork in itself.

A map of the trail can be purchased from The Colchester Visitor Centre..1 Queen St..01206 282920.and a short video can be seen at..colchester2020.com/architecture.asp# (then click on winner of sense of space)

We have intentionally not made these hard to find, the cache trail has been a real pleasure to put together, it isn't intended for a race of the first and fastest but for the pleasure of lovely walks the enjoyment of the Artworks and of course the finding of the cache, In a couple of the finds the artwork and cache share the same co-ords.
We would like to thank Michael Goodey for allowing his inspiration to become ours.

After finding the artwork it's a pleasant stroll to the cache.
