Geocache Description:


Ponds, Pits, and Lakes of Berkshire #11 Lavell's lake
(Due to Wokingham Borough Council, Countryside Services policy this cache is on the foot path out side the lake so not in the local nature reserve)
Lavell's Lake is set in the Northern most part of Dinton Pastures Country Park (DPCP) and is a lake set in about 46 acres of a mixture of managed wetland habitats, including Phragmites reed beds, sedges, grass areas, coppiced scrub and hedgerows.

The area was deemed a conservation area in 1984 and officially became a nature reserve 7th July 1987, when thay became a registered charity with the Charity Commission.

This cache was inspired by Martletsman Ponds, Dew Ponds and Lakes of Sussex and with kind permission i decided to bring this in to Berkshire as we don't have many dew ponds but we do have lots of old gravel pits
How many times when out walking or cacheing have we come across a pond or lake that seems to be asking to become a Cache?.
So armed with pre-prepared micro, it is easy, see site, hide micro, record co-ordinates, get home and enter listing details.
This series will consist of a mixture of:-
caches in their own right
caches situated on the way to other caches
cache and dash types.
In many cases you can decide which type you want it to be, and may want to look at your maps to decide before setting off.
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, just let me bazzer1975 know first so that i can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication
Cache is a bit bigger than a film canister containing logbook, please bring your own pencil.
steth is required happy hunting
