Daventry Country Park Multi-Cache

Please note that there is a £2 charge for parking. There are toilet facilities and refreshments at the Visitor's Centre and a large play area by the car park.

You are looking for a small lock and lock containing a logbook, pencil and some swaps. Permission for placing has been granted by the Park Ranger.

This is a multi-cache based around Daventry Country Park - you will need to visit each waypoint along the walk around the reservoir (approx 2.5 miles) to obtain the final co-ordinates.

The terrain is mostly easy going but some parts including the final route to GZ can get muddy so boots or wellies are recommended! The final cache is in a fairly quiet area but some stealth may be required when retrieving it, and please re-hide the cache well to reduce the risk of it being muggled.

History

Daventry Country Park was created in 1968 as part of the nationwide Countryside Act.

The reservoir at Daventry Country Park consists of 130 acres of open water, which took eight years to dig out and was completed in 1804. The original purpose of the reservoir was to feed the Grand Union Canal; it is still used for this purpose today. This causes water level fluctuations outside of normal environmental factors.
