Geocache Description:


When I moved to the Wirral in the 1980s, Saughall Massie Road from Upton to Heron Rd/Pump lane was both narrow and twisted, following the old boundaries on the field.

Since then it has been straightened, not only taking out all the bends, but it also by-passes the village of Saughall Massie. It has recently had its speed limit increased to 50mph.

Along this stretch there is a cycle way that still follows the gated loops of the old road. Today whilst on our bicycles, we placed this micro-cache close to the end of one of these ‘Old Road’ loops.

This cache is ideal for cyclists and pedestrians. For those in cars parking is a little more tricky, but there are gateways and it is possible to pull off at the end of the loops.

If you have geo-kids or geo-pets with you, please take extra care as cars now travel very fast along this road.
