How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

You will be looking for a homemade cache that should blend into its surroundings. So use your catcher’s eye and you will spot something that’s out of place. There is no need for any special tools or brute force to retrieve the cache.

Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. So dont just stick in "easy find TFTC" on every log. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.



Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. Please if you take a TB or GC from a cache will you ensure it is correctly logged in and out, also If you take one that still shows somewhere else please be patient before “grabbing” the item, it does not get its mileage by being grabbed and the last person to place may not have had time to log a previous find or the one you took it from. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug please e-mail the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue. They will be pleased to hear from you.


This is point where the rail line would have crossed the A350 before the road got moved. During WW2 the bridge was used as part of Stop Line Blue. Stop Line Blue ran from away from Stop Line Green @ Semington and followed the Kennet and Avon Canal east to Theale near Reading. Hedgehogs could be placed in the road under the bridge to slow any attacking forces. Nowadays there is a gate to stop cars and a lane for busses only. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?key=devizes+branch+railway&submit4=Go FTF goes to billiethecat
