This cache is one of 7 caches set along 1.9 miles of The Track, a popular footpath for dog walkers, joggers and walkers that is accessed from two points on the A4129 on the eastern side of Thame.
It is not known how long The Track has been known by this name, but local people often refer to this path as such. Much of it is a track, whereas the rest is a narrow path. For us it is of interest as when the ‘me’ part of us moved to Thame in 1989, The Track was one of the first walks the family did in the area. The path in the wood can get boggy even in summer with few alternatives, and the youngest member of the family then aged five boldly walked into the middle of the bog with her wellies on and managed to leave them behind, stuck in the mud! It was fun trying to re-unite her to them.
Recommended parking is close to Chinnor RFC, and at the western end of The Track there are usually street parking spaces the estate side of the A4129. Do not use Moorend Lane as shown on maps as this is narrow and frequently used by earthmoving vehicles.
There is no need to climb over wire fencing to enter the wood. The Additional Waypoint ‘Wood Entrance’ shows the way into where the cache is.
The cache is a fully intact camo bison tube. Only attempt this cache if you feel confident of reaching it and extracting the logsheet to sign it. Please bring your own pen or pencil. Your online log WILL be deleted if you don't sign it!
Well done to Team MMK for being the FTF!
