Geocache Description:

Geocache Description:

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space

 

That's from a 1996 song I particularly like by Mansun.  Now whilst the song won't have the same appeal to all the cachers out there I expect a few of you will appreciate the beauty of a real wide open space.

The cach site is on top of Wigford Down.  There are not many hiding places up here so the cache should be easily found. That means you won't be so distracted that you miss the panoramic views, if the weather is favourable and you get in the right position.  The area can get somewhat boggy, the cache has been carefully positioned to hopefully avoid it getting waterlogged when the winter comes.

Parking available at Cadover Bridge, or by the lakes.  For a longer walk try parking at Shaugh Bridge, there's a path that comes up across to Wigford Down and you can go back via Cadover Bridge and the other side  of the river.

The cache is a small clip and lock box,  the log is inside a plastic bag which is inside a film pot for extra protection from the elements.  No swaps, but maybe enough room for the odd geocoin/TB, please rehide carefully so as not to be seen by muggles passing by.

The cache has been placed in accordance with the DNPA guidelines.
