This cache is part of our ‘Anniversary Amble’. When walked in full it forms a 4.5 mile walk.
This ‘Amble’ series has been set down to mark our 100th cache and 5th wedding anniversary. If you are doing this as a walk the full series is roughly 4.5 miles across mixed terrain that can be rough and overgrown at certain times of the year. Some of the caches can be done as a drive-by. 5 of the caches are anniversary related, some others are named after songs/places to do with our wedding and the others will be changed as our marriage matures. Ten original caches we set out in April 2013 and more were added in November of that year. There are a few geo-walks from the village (the dawdles and amble) which are recommended but this one will take you eastward (crossing the A141 twice so be careful with geokids). The village of Doddington has some interesting points of interest including the Queen Victoria Jubilee clock tower and the golden post box which are worth a visit and photo opportunity. Brickmakers Arms Lane is so called as there used to be a brickyard here dating from around 1840 to 1909. The pond (or pit) behind the row of houses is evidence of the brick making history, it is reputed to be around 60ft at its deepest. The Brickmakers Arms once stood at the entrance to the lane from around 1870 to 1950 when it closed after the landlord retired. Hand made bricks of Doddington were surpassed by the automated process in Whittlesey and Peterborough towards the end of the 19th century.
You are looking for a nano cache with only a log. Tweezers made be useful. Beware of the very busy road not too far away. Thanks to 'thehartz' FTF.
