Geocache Description:

One of a series of caches along part of the walking route of Section 17 of the London Loop.

The London Loop (London Outer Orbital Path), one of the Mayor of London's key routes, almost completely encircles Greater London, covering a total distance of about 150 miles (240km). The idea for the LOOP was first put forward at a meeting of the London Walking Forum in the early 1990's. The first of the 24 sections of the LOOP was opened on 3rd May 1996 with the route becoming fully walkable in 2001.

This cache is along Section 17 of the London Loop, which covers about 8.3 miles (13.3km) between Cockfosters and Enfield Lock. The entrances to this part of the walk are either off Hadley Road at N51 40.053 W000 08.584 or The Ridgeway at N51 40.118 W000 06.770. At the Hadley Road end, parking is available at the lay-bys next to the footpath entrance. There is some parking on residential roads available about 200-300m from The Ridgeway end of the footpath.

This part of the London Loop contains a few kissing gates and stiles along the route.

Note - if you have small children with you, be careful of the steep drop to the brook (thanks to sjwaldock for the note of caution).

The cache is a small 450ml lock-lock plastic container. Contains a badge for the FTF.

Congratulations to FantasticCat on the FTF.
