Relatively simple walk on potentially muddy paths to get to this cache. The path is made more difficult by locals who place logs over the path and by fallen trees. You can either cycle or walk to the cache location, cache is not far from the footpath and may be accessed from two sides with relative ease.
The cache is contained in a medium sized lock&lock box. This contains an assortment of swap items. Watch out for the worms...
Cache is located in a small woodland to the south of what is known locally as Harlow common. However, the maps indicate this as Harlow Park (hence the name) which may be confused with Harlow Town Park.
The woodland appears to be used frequently, however I rarely see other people there. Aside from the noise of the local M11, it is lovely area for walking or cycling. Deer can often be observed travelling through the woodland and an assortment of trees, flora and fauna can be found. There is also an underpass to get under the M11 and explore some other quite areas.
The underpass area appears to be frequented by potential muggles, but I've yet to see them.
Local parking can be found at N 51°45.364 E 000°08.547, the cache is around 0.5 mile walk from here. This parking is limited and is heavily used by fisherman at the local pond.
Note that the cache is close to the M11, but please do not attempt to stop on the M11 as this is dangerous and illegal.
For the FTF, I've placed an item in the cache which would be great accompanying your (self-supplied!) celebratory cake. Enjoy!
