Geocache Description:

This series of caches is located on a pleasant walking loop between Poolsbrook and the Markham Vale reclamation site. The caches are placed just off the paths, with the permission of Chesterfield Council and Derbyshire Council. For details about the themes, bonus cache and history see the longer description on the first cache in the Loop: R.E.C.L.A.I.M. - 5, 6, 7, 8.


The R.E.C.L.A.I.M. series is a collection of Revamped Everyday Containers Lurking Amidst Industrial Memories, as the caches are in an area littered with signs of old railway links, mining and industrial areas, although this has now been flattened as part of the reclamation and you can see huge new buildings being created.

After finding the previous railway bridge cache you are at the far end of the loop so it's time to head back the way you came, but stay on the main path- don't turn left back into the trees where you came out. The path goes past 2 newly created small lakes on your left hand side, the banks covered with grasses and wild flowers, and you may see a variety of dragonflies, butterflies and other creatures around here. Unfortunately I could not place any caches on this side as they would be too close to ones on the other side of the lake so you can simply enjoy the scenery on the longer gap between these caches. The huge building to your right on plot 1 can be seen towering above you, and ahead you will see the next cache location at the bridge.

The cache is a small magnetic nano container (disguised as something else) with no pen inside. You may need to take care retrieving this one and do a little squatting or crouching down to see it, but you DO NOT need to go down the banking to the stream or under the bridge to get to this one, and you will not need to cross the bridge to retrieve it. This is proving to be the trickiest in the series to find so don't forget there is an additional hint below if you need it, and have a feel around to see which potential 'suspects' are loose! The log sheet inside is wrapped up tightly but there is a piece of wire attached to the paper to pull it out and wind back up tightly, making sure the wire is sticking outwards again when replacing it.

Bonus Cache Music Question:
The song 'Under The Bridge' is by the band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The edible version of chilli peppers are renowned for being 'red hot' as they contain the chemical compound Capsaicin which gives us the heat sensation. The degree of this heat is measured in S.H.U. which are what scale of Heat Units?

  • Starch scale (F=5)
  • Salicylic scale (F=4)
  • Scoville scale (F=2)
  • Sliding scale (F=7)

First To Find honours:
Well done to DrunkNinjaHippo for making a mad bolt to this cache first before the rest of you.
