My main driving force for this series of caches is the lack of wheelchair friendly geocaches in the locality , it is getting better but still falls short. So this series of seven caches will be fully wheelchair/pushchair accessible , but due to muggles some help might be needed to actually retrieve the containers. My son has been wheelchair bound since he was born 2007 and over the years has developed an interest in darts (more than likely due to both his mum and dad being active dart players) And it was with great joy that earlier on in this year 2013 actual legislation has been passed to enable wheelchair depended patrons the chance to compete against fully able body darters to tournament standard , hopefully in the next few years we will see more and more wheelchair bound persons competing even in televised tournaments – the only difference is that due to their restricted height wheelchair bound competitors can throw at a board set lower than the normal height mainly 4ft 6 or 137 cm (in the course of one these caches you will come across these numbers). – One of these caches will be dedicated to my best friend Matthew Wills who at aged 19 was a perfectly reasonable , (if not good) dart player , actively playing in Pencoed and Bridgend leagues – that was until in August 2013 he was involved in a motorbike accident whereby a car ploughed into him and run over him resulting in him being hospitalised in Cardiff with life threatening injuries , broken back, leg, eye, arm , the list goes on. Due to the intensity of the accident he is at the moment left with no movement below his nipple or chest level and so for the next few years at least has got to accept life being wheelchair bound – hopefully he will walk again – but this is one of my ways to honour him as my friend – that even being confined to a wheelchair your dreams can be realised.
Anyway enough babbling onto the chase , the entire series should not take you more than an hour or so depending on your caching experience , most of these caches are of the clip lock type - all I ask is that you replace them as you found them – with minimal chance of them being muggled as I’m not sure exactly how busy this lane is , or will become when more factories are built along the nearby road , happy caching
