Geocache Description:

Something Old, Something New 1

Cache is a disguised micro.


Collingham train station, just up from the cache
Welcome to 'Something Old, Something New'.

 This series involves a 5.5 mile walk with 31 caches set on it, hopefully it should keep you entertained for a few hours.

There is also another cache located on the walk so you might want to attempt that while you are at it,
see Scaffold Lane

If your child can hack 5.5 miles then I would say bring them along.

There are limited areas to park up to do the series, I advise parking close to this cache, there is a car park here but it does charge a couple of quid for all day parking, or you can just park on the grass verge with all the other train users that don't wish to pay. Alternatively, just get the train here.

Please try to leave caches exactly as you find them.

About the series

The 5.5 mile walk is a circular walk which is based around public footpaths/bridleways on the outskirts of Collingham.

There is a plant nursery and tea room located near cache 25 should you wish to stop for refreshments during your walk.

Attributes are based on the whole walk which is generally quite flat.
Dogs are allowed all round the walk but in some places might need to be kept on the lead as there are nesting birds, rabbits and hares, you may even be lucky enough to spot the odd deer or two.

If you go clockwise as set, you will head off from the station along the road, turning off on to a track often used by dog walkers. You will then head on to the Roman road (now nothing more than a track), which is North Scaffold Lane, then alongside the A46 and back down South Scaffold Lane, these are on public bridleways so they can be done on horseback, bikes can go round but it is a very bumpy grass track so only advisable if you own a decent mountain bike and are quite an accomplished rider!
There is a stretch of about 400 metres near to cache number 9 that is often muddy in summer and in winter will be extremely muddy so appropriate footwear might be a good idea!
As you head off South Scaffold Lane, you head round the roads for a little while but they should be relatively quiet, you'll pass the tea rooms before turning back on to footpaths that lead you back to Station Road and to the beginning.

Happy caching
