Geocache Description:

The cache is located in a small wood next to the village of Aston On Trent. This location is popular with local dog walkers and cyclists and consists of quite wide natural paths from the entrance to the exit on a farm path, however these can get muddy after prolonged rainfall so be prepared.

The main wood entrance is a gap between two houses in Maple Drive, next to the wood is a large abandoned psychiatric hospital (that is in bad condition due to vandals) that I do not recommend families exploring however you don't need to go near it to enter the wood as the entrance is before this

The site can also be accessed from the canal being a nice walk of less than one mile along a farm path, could also be accessed from Weston lock being around 2 miles away. The cache is just off the main path, it’s not a very busy wood but keep an eye out for muggles all the same. Suitable for whole family and dogs.

There is limited free parking on the street at the entrance on Maple dirve at N 52° 51.4203, W 001° 23.345.

The container is a small/medium sized see-through plastic cyclinder with a screw top. The orginal contents are as follows: Bouncy Ball, Chinese finger trap, Bubble mixture, severed finger (plastic), torch keyring and a log book and pen. This is my first Cache so have fun and good luck!

Aston - Weston Cache Trail

A long but beautiful walk taking in four caches (two of mine and two others) and is around five miles, but it can be shortened as the walker sees fit. Click the link below to see the map in more detail
