Geocache Description:

This cache is one of 7 caches set along 1.9 miles of The Track, a popular footpath for dog walkers, joggers and ramblers that is accessed from two points on the A4129 on the eastern side of Thame. Please bring your own pen or pencil.


*The cache name is a bit misleading, as it is actually a gate! When we placed it here, the nettles and grass were quite high and both of us thought it was a fence. In winter, it clearly is a gate. In spring and summer, some bush-whacking may be necessary. Be careful with rusty jagged metal when retrieving.

 

It is not known how long The Track has been known by this name, but local people often refer to this path as such. Much of it is a track, whereas the rest is a narrow path. For us it is of interest as when the ‘me’ part of us moved to Thame in 1989, The Track was one of the first walks the family did in the area. The path in the wood can get boggy even in summer with few alternatives, and the youngest member of the family then aged 5 boldly walked into the middle of the bog with her wellies on and managed to leave them behind, stuck in the mud! It was fun trying to re-unite her to them.

Recommended parking is close to Chinnor RFC or street parking bays the town side of Tythrop Way. Do not park in Moorend Lane as the road is narrow.
