Geocache Description:


Traditionally the wedding had always centred and focused around the bride.  It goes without saying that the bride is the key person in the wedding ceremony ... the woman who is getting married by exchanging vows.  She is a symbol of purity, strength and commitment.

Unfortunately the eloping couple future bride has gone off track, but thankfully not on the train track... hopefully not going quackers and having second thoughts.  Doubtful as she's all ready and looking beautiful for her special day in her flowing white veil and train.  The wedding veil and train, while both fashion statements in modern weddings have rich historical roots with varying symbolism.

VEILS: have ancient origins in warding off evil spirits and later evolved to represent modesty and purity.  Initially worn to conceal the bride's face until the ceremony, served to prevent the groom from backing out of the arrangement.

TRAINS: The extra fabric attached to the back of the wedding dress and extends behind the bride as she walks.  It has a history tied to social status, especially during the medieval period.  Longer ones were a way to impress guests and indicated the wealth and high social standing of the family.

A pen is essential to sign the log.  Tweezers may be handy.  Be wary of the nettles if it's the summer months.  There is a car pull in area opposite GO.  Note: the cache is on the roadside.  DO NOT go through the gate which leads onto the track-side.
