A nice quick cache for travelers along the A5 - Shrewsbury bypass in Shropshire. I thought that drivers travelling along this route on their way into Wales & A49 towards Hereford may like to bag an easy cache on their journey.
Therefore this Geocache has been placed close to Dobbies services on the A5 Shrewsbury bypass. The cache is placed next to a field where geo dogs & geo kids can have a run around. The services include Dobbies Garden centre with a nice café, Travel Lodge, Burger King, Little Chef, Coffee Nation and an Esso petrol station with hot food to go. The services are accessed from the large island on the bypass. When approaching from any direction just follow the signs to the services.
The difficulty & terrain rating relate to the fact the island needed to access the services is extremely busy. It has been slightly improved since traffic lights were recently installed, but some drivers still go too fast or get in the wrong lane, so:-
PLEASE EXERCISE GREAT CAUTION WHILST NAVIGATING AROUND THIS ISLAND.
THE CACHE
It should be not too hard to find, just take the little path next to the falling down double gate and head towards the field. It is a small lock & lock container which will hold small TB and geocoins.
PARKING
Parking co-ordinates are N52° 40.873. W002° 45.722
Post Code for the Sat Navs :- SY3 0DA
Parking is free at the services.
I would not recommend parking outside the garden centre as they put down barriers in the evening. But if you follow the parking co-ords or park down at the bottom by the Travel Lodge you will be fine.
