A cache to commemorate loss of the Mega Maize Maze
History of the Maize Maze, Bedhampton Hampshire
This incredible Mega Maize was located in Bedhampton Hampshire, United Kingdom and it was a favorite of many families to visit during the summer. The mega maize opened in July 10 2005 as a celebration to commemorate the 200th year anniversary of the Trafalgar Battle. It was made in honor of the Admiral Lord Nelson, one of Britain's naval heroes. A seven-acre site at the Forty Acres Farm in Bedhampton was chosen for this.
The Maize Maze took three months to plant and more than four hundred thousand maize seeds. It was done using the technology of satellite to ensure that the crops will grow according to the pattern that was designed. The labyrinth was 2.5 miles long. It was considered the biggest puzzle maze in Hampshire.
This was the first Maize to be created, but nowadays, more than 20 exist in the UK.
This cache is bigger than a micro but smaller than a small.
