The cache is located along Ogston New Road which may be busy at time. Take care as there is no footpath at the cache location. There is a car park near by (closes at 7.30pm)
This cache is one of 7 caches making up the Ogston Circuit series, 6 traditional caches hold the clue to the coordinates of the Ogston Circuit multicache (collect the value of a letter from the lid of each cache). All the caches are associated with a different type of tree. The traditional caches can be completed individually and in any order but as a 5 mile circular walking route around Ogston reservoir, it is recommended you commence with Cache #1, then proceed anticlockwise from #2 to #6 or clockwise from #6 to #2 to be best placed for the final multicache.
After completing this cache (film canister), continue along the road to Brackenfield Church where you take a left turn to follow the road round to the footpath that leads to cache #6. (There is a cut through footpath opposite the church if you wish to avoid walking along the road).
The present parish church, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, was built in 1857 and replaces the 16th century Trinity Chapel which lies in ruins, hidden by trees near Mathersgrave (check out guide stoop cache GC1026W if you decide to visit). If you are in the area during the May Spring Bank holiday week, take the opportunity to view the flower festival at the church and the well dressings up in Brackenfield village. Further information about this old Derbyshire custom can be found on the local school's web site (visit link)
