Geocache Description:

Nice and easy cache on Brandon's Ponderosa.  Close to the A690. Park safely in the Meadowfield Sports Centre car park and take a short walk. Or can be accessed with a detour from the Bishop Auckland to Brandon cycle path. 

Site is busy and exposed. We have looked carefully for the best place to put these caches to avoid being seen by pedestrians on the busy adjacent paths, so please replace exactly as you found it.


Brandon Ponderosa is on the site of Brandon Coliery.  The colliery closed in 1960 and by 1972 the site had been bulldozed and covered in a thin layer of soil which resulted in meadow grassland.

Nano container. Bring a pencil and tweezers.
