Geocache Description:

Saturday 1st July, 9:30am to 11:15am

Originally a small village, the parish of Haydon Wick is now a suburb of Swindon.  In one week, Haydon Wick will be celebrating its first community festival, with dog show, hog roast, stalls and other other entertainments.

Whilst the council has a small amenities team and a few volunteers who regularly pick litter, this CITO will be a welcome assistance in the build up to the community festival.


By attending this CITO, you will also receive the Canada Day souvenir on your profile. 

We will start and end at The Haydon Centre (adjacent to the Parish Council offices) where toilets are available and hot drink & other vending machines.  There is also plenty of car-parking here and at the supermarket over the road.  

These waypoints give a few ideas for green areas to focus on, including:

Waypoint 1: King George V field – a very popular play park and green space.  Dogs are not allowed in here (except for next Saturday when the dog show will be taking place).

Waypoint  2: Rex Barnet Walk – a footpath and cycle way used for getting to school or work and bordered by care home and retirement housing.  A great place to gather conkers in the autumn.

Waypoint 3: Pond Street – a quiet, tree-lined lane which turns into a footpath and Seven Fields Nature Reserve.  Popular with dog walkers and there are play parks just off Pond Street every 500m or so.

The parish council has provided refuse bags, bag hoops and some litter sticks.  Please bring your own gloves and litter pickers if you have any.

Health and Safety
- Rubbish collection can be dangerous, that's why we need adventurous people like you to assist  Please be extremely careful of anything sharp, glass, cans, knives, etc. Not saying you will come across these, but if you do, please be careful.

- Gloves are recommended, ideally the strong gardening ones.
- Children are welcome and are the responsibility of the parent for the duration of the event.  Please keep dogs under control.

- Heavy items. Please do not lift anything beyond your ability. If you find anything very large or heavy, please note the co-ordinates and these will be passed on to the Parish Council for the amenities team to deal with.
