Geocache Description:


This cache is close to the A31 and the infamous Canford Bottom roundabout but is easily accessible. 

It replaces a cache that was placed at the beginning of the 2012 London Olympics to provide a cache for spectators (and maybe even competitors) travelling to Weymouth for the sailing events. The original cache recorded 540 "finds" but sadly has suffered several incidents of vandalism recently and so we have taken the difficult decision to archive it. However, we wanted to maintain the spirit of the original cache and so this one is also reasonably close to the roundabout, albeit on the opposite side. We also wanted to keep the cache name starting with I to help those trying to complete an alphabet of finds.

From the original 2012 cache description:

Locals believe that Canford Bottom hamburger junction has the most traffic lights in the world for a junction its size! 
Canford Bottom Junction is one of few hamburger junctions ever made and locals are sceptical as to its benefits, but nevertheless it has reportedly cut journey times by an average time of 34 seconds!!!! Although it came at a price tag of over £7 million.

Parking is straightforward on Fox Lane or Old Ham Lane, just off the B3073. Please don't use the pub car park unless you are actually going into the pub.

Access to the cache is fine for buggies, bikes and wheelchairs, although a wheelchair user may require assistance to retrieve the cache.

You are looking for a cliptop box in a camo bag. There is plenty of space in the container for swaps and trackables. 

Please replace it as described in the hint, so that it's away from the road and the ditch.
