The Good Life #1 Plough your own furrow
A series of caches inspired by the 1970's sitcom The Good Life.
On his 40th birthday, Tom Good gets depressed at work as everyone else in his office is younger than him.
That evening, he stays up until the early hours and decides to quit the rat race and his job as a draughtsman and become self-sufficient.
After thinking in the garden, his wife Barbara agrees to the idea. However, their neighbours Margo and Jerry think they are mad.
Each cache is placed near allotment sites in Colchester.
There are 17 allotment sites in Colchester with approx 800 plots. These are Irvine Road allotments. The allotments have a small conservation area of land that was set aside when allotments were in decline, one third of the area is planted with trees and the remaining two thirds is a grassland habitat. In 2007 an unusual visitor was spotted in the Irvine Road allotments a Camberwell beauty butterfly, native of North America.
On the back of each log is a number that you will need to collect to find the bonus.
Stealth is required here, as this is a very busy footpath in the morning and afternoon at school start and end.
Please make sure the cache is well hidden. You will need a pen and tweezers might be useful.
Parking is available very close by on Irvine Road, see parking co-ordinates.
