For anyone concerned about the location of this cache, as to if the location is public land or not is apparently a matter of debate. Suffice it to say, the house owner is quite happy for the cache being where it is. We were prepared to move it, but she said that it was quite acceptable where it is, so we have left it there!
TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURE OF: Cold Newton Road, Hungarton Leicestershire County Council Highways has agreed to the closure of the above road. The closure is required between 23rd January 2015 and 24th January 2015 for 2 days This will allow Leicestershire Highways to carry out carriageway patching. This small series of mixed caches is designed to start and finish from Hungarton village. Hungarton Walk: We designed this walk in the memory of Karen’s late uncle and aunt, Peter and Sylvia Markham, as this was their favourite pub/inn for a meal and a drink with friends. Peter Markham was a sports fanatic. He was a leading light in the Race Walking Association, his athletics discipline, but was a mentor to young athletes, keen on boxing and horse-racing, football (both he and Sylvia were Leicester City season ticket holders), in fact all sport. Sylvia started out watching her husband take part in race walking events, before became a national official and progressed to being an Olympics Games judge. Peter and Sylvia travelled all over the world as officials at numerous international athletics events, including Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Back in Leicester they would often head over to the Black Boy Inn and the East Leicestershire countryside. They are sorely missed and that is why we have designed this walk in their memory. The walk is designed as a clockwise walk suitable for families with children, most on public footpaths and across fields and over stiles, on a bridleway and on quiet country lanes. The area is very popular with muggles, particularly along “conker avenue”. The cache containers are a mixture of clip box, 35mm film pot, magnetic and nano. A number could be done as a "cache and dash" from the car, but the complete walk of just over two miles (four and a half kilometres) should take under a couple of hours.
