Geocache Description:

30ml camo tube



This is part of a pleasant Walk along a public footpath near Thorpe Hall away from the hustle and bustle of the City Centre. Ideal for some fresh air at lunchtime and based upon the ones that RonnJohn used to have near to Thorpe Hall

Thorpe Hall at Longthorpe in the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire is a Grade I listed building, built by Peter Mills between 1653 and 1656, for the Lord Chief Justice, Oliver St John. The house is unusual in being one of the very few mansions built during the Commonwealth period. After a period as a hospital, it is currently used as a hospice.


Back when I was introduced to caching by work mates HL4C and TT925 (not their real caching names) I worked (unbeknownst at first) in the same building as RonnJohn, half a small hairy mammal related cacher and one half of a sandy couple and the closest caches to work were ronnJohn's.

Unfortunately we've all been made redundant from that place now, except my previous work colleagues, and we archived all our caches in the area.

But now I'm back working in the area and after finding the nearby box cache I decided to replace these caches!


This particular cache is not where the original #1 was as the aforementioned box cache is too close so I decided to try and replicate the view I get of the magnificent Hall as you come down Audley Gate.
