Geocache Description:

A small cache in a fun location near the River Thames. Part of the series originally placed by bulskas

**** Congratulations to The Lock Pirates for FTF of the resurrected cache! ****
 

This was a cache by bulskas originally hidden 04/Apr/2011 and finally archived 26/Dec/2014. We love this spot, near to where we live, and felt it needed resurrecting - particularly as it's part of a series!

The original cache description reads:

A roughly 7 mile walk with 9 caches starting and finishing in wallingford. Mostly flat trails in pleasant countryside. 7 micro-caches and 2 bigger lunchboxes with room for treasure and swaps.
 
A 1 litre clip-lock box in a camo bag, with a logbook, pen and some swaps. This cache [was] hidden [at] a disused WW2 structure just next to Benson Lock.

NOTE - the cache had to be moved from the pill box, sadly, and is now on the other side of the river and off Environment Agency property.
 
You'll get to visit a piece of British WWII history here... many of these were scattered along the River Thames, in case of a river invasion. Read more at: http://www.pillboxesuk.co.uk/ or for more detail at this Wikipedia entry. or some basics in this one.
 
The container has had to be replaced and is now a sample pot with black gaffer tape around it
