Geocache Description:


This cache is one of a Doctor Who themed series.

While continuing this theme & bringing you to this location, there is one character that immediately came to mind to highlight.  The Fourth Doctor & his companion, Sarah Jane Smith were my first exposure to Doctor Who and both some of my favorites.  She is one of the most popular companions in the history of the show and has interacted with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 10th & 11th Doctors over the show's history.

Sarah Jane first became the Third Doctor's companion and watched him regenerate into the Fourth Doctor.  This Doctor gifted her with the robotic K9 Mark III upon leaving her to return home (see picture).  Her own history as an investigative journalist, especially about the paranormal, extraterrestrial allowed for various spin-offs such as The Sarah Jane Adventures.  She later appeared in various specials/episodes which let her interact with the other Doctors. 

The actress, Elisabeth Sladen (February 1946-April 2011) also provided voice acting for radio serials and audio dramas.  Elisabeth was still filming Adventure episodes when she passed in 2011 from cancer.  She was honoured with an "In memory of" dedication at the start of the 2011 series première The Impossible Astronaut, followed by a half-hour retrospective TV special airing immediately after that episode.

      

You are looking for a small container tucked away for a quiet discovery in a picturesque secret garden along a long walkway in honor of many women.  You can start at the parking lot near the cache and tuck away into the secret garden or park along the street and take a leisurely stroll past the clock tower, the collonade, 5 special gardens, and a sunken fountain before reaching the cache location.  I hope you enjoy the location!

If classes are in session, both finding a parking spot & stealth requirements may be an issue.  Other times you will have the entire area to yourself.  There is no need to displace anything in the garden to find this container.

Bring a pen and PLEASE take care to return the container EXACTLY in the same spot to keep it wheelchair accessible and reduce the chances of it being smuggled.

** Certains of the year there can be high bee activity on paths leading directly to the cache. **

 

Congratulations to bondebond on your FTF!!!
