Ideal for NOISY CHILDREN! (or noisy adults...)
Not visible from the road, this is one of those 'fun' locations for adults and kids that you could drive by a thousand times and never know was there. The suggested parking is at the Cadmore End school between Lane End and Stokenchurch.
When planting this cache, I took my 19 months old little girl with me, and by the other end of 'the tunnel' she was giggling like a toddler... Ah well maybe not so surprising... So please shout out loud to test the ECHO as you go throught this perfectly arched tunnel, there are no nearby houses, and it is under the MOTORWAY, so feel free to let rural rip!
The cache is most likely going to be a tough one, the tree cover will undoutably make getting a GPS fix difficult. I make most of my caches as easy as possible, but I know some cachers prefer a challenge and a search, so I'm *not* going to be very generous with this one (mainly because I struggled to find a good place for it that wasn't in the nettles!). You're going to have to go beyond the tunnel a little way to find the cache.
If it is the month of May and bluebell season, you might want to spend a bit more time and follow the trail, over the next farmers field crossroads, where you will find an exceptional display of bluebells that few see. Keep walking further and you will go through the area that gave me my North American Indian name 'Runs with Deer' (an accurate name for another day...). Follow this trail to the end, and in maybe an hour you will end up at the pub at Pidddington 
.
Could be done at night, if you're brave enough!
