The Cache
Bzzzzz!
Dare you open The Wasp Box? Once you’ve entered, can you get past the stripy guards to sign the log book?
Please be reassured that The Wasp Box is a family friendly 24 litre box with plenty of space for swag and swaps! You will need to approach the cache from the south. Please be aware that GPS is a bit unreliable in this area.
There is a pin badge for the First to Find.
This cache is situated a short detour from the London LOOP section that extends between High Barnet and Cockfosters underground stations. If not following the London LOOP, there are many other footpaths around the Common to explore (and several other caches to find!) The footpaths in the area can get extremely muddy after rain; appropriate footwear recommended.
Please only log a find online if you have signed the log. If you cannot find the cache, please either log a DNF or message us to let us know there is a problem. Please do not replace the container if you believe it to be missing.
The Common
Monken Hadley Common once formed part of the Royal Forest of Enfield Chase. Currently there are five entrances to the area by road, all marked by distinctive white gates.
