cache replaced and updated.
Difficulty is set to 2 because it's a busy area and very very hard to be discreet and avoid muggles. The cache itself is easy to find. It's not a jar any more but a fake pine cone :-)
very easy to find, not so easy to collect.
enjoy!
Near Glenfield railway station are a couple of great parks. Seddon Park and Kennet park are split by a small road way. They boast some great soccer fields and cricket pitches and you can certainly see they get some use, especially over the weekend. There are also Tennis courts for hire and nearby, a little known fenced dog park.
The kids playground is small and recently tidied. Good for a drive by play. It's not ideal for toddlers as the equipment is a bit grown up and there is no fencing, and it's fairly close to the road (albeit a quiet one).
"Seddon Park honours Dr Herbert Seddon, a veterinary surgeon who was the first director of Glenfield Research Station from 1923-36. His 1964 obituary in the local press said: "At Glenfield he did much to advance conditions for the community and was mainly responsible for obtaining the park at Glenfield which has been named "Seddon Par" in recognition of his work in the area."
Kennet park would be named after the family "It was in 1902 that the clan first settled on a farm by the river.
Glenfield Progress Hall was constructed in 1925 with money loaned by C.C. Kennett. "
The family continued to have a strong influence in the town, you can read more via the link above.
Cache is a camo'ed jam jar with room for a few toy swaps. I've added a little something. Hint: Good for a geokids find if they can get a little lift up. Please make sure you tuck it out of sight again.
It's halfway between the dog park and the kids park. Plenty of muggles around during certain times so could get a little tricky to be surreptitious about it, so good luck.
Bring a pen, I wasn't able to include one.
