Russells Water Village Pond
Apart from being a very pleasant place to just sit and watch the world go by, the Russells Water Village Pond has a well loved place in film history, as it was the location for several scenes in the film of Ian Flemming's "Chitty Chitty Band Bang, indeed it was into this very pond that Truly Scrumptious a couple of times dunked the car ! !
Russells Water is a particularly lovely village hidden well off the beaten track, within the Chilterns AONB, which we try to visit three or four times a year to walk our dog on the common, and so we thought to place a Cache so as to bring a few other visitors to this delightful location. This could be a simple Cache & Dash, but hopefully, once found and logged, time will allow of just a few minutes to sit, ponder, and indeed, to watch the world go by.
Parking is relatively easy on the roadside opposite the Village Hall as you approach the pond, if coming from the direction of Watlington. We apologise for the location of the Cache, but as the reason for placing it is to encourage visits to the village, perhaps we can be forgiven. However as it is placed alongside the road, do be aware of passing traffic. You are looking for a small camouflaged container, containing just the log and pencil, but large enough for small TBs and trinkets.
