Geocache Description:

A series of caches around the paths and parks of Chandler's Ford, hopefully taking people to places they may not have known about before. Most can be done either a cache and dash, or joined into a longer route.

This cache is in a cut through between Templar's mede and a popular footpath that links a local hypermarket to the Knightwood area. The footpath is suitable for buggies, bicycles etc but the actual cut through can get very wet and muddy. The cache is located at a small neglected pond that can be accessed via Templars Mede, Bournemouth Road, Guildford Drive and Conway Close. However PLEASE park considerately for local residents.

The cache is a good sized round tub suitable for trackables and hanging in plain sight. The challenge is reaching it without getting wet feet - one slip and you will.

The pond is a bit on the murky side with the odd compost bin lying in it so I probably wouldn't recommend deliberately paddling, you are doing this cache at your own risk! There are at least a pair of ducks who call it home however so it can't be that bad.
