Didcot GeoCache Series
After our recently placed GeoCache Series at Great Western Park (GWP) (cache #1-11, 14, 17-19, 30-32), central Didcot (cache #12-13, 15-16, 20-25, 29), Harwell Campus (cache #26), and Chilton (cache #27-28), we decide to place a few more caches in other parts of Didcot and surrounding villages, in order to honour local heros, and to reflect our rich local history, stories and heritage. We hope you will enjoy these new caches and may also learn something when you are caching, thank you!
Didcot #33 - Ladygrove Hill
Ladygrove Hill is a hill located in the centre of the Ladygrove Estate, in the northern part of Didcot. It has a great view on the top of the hill, where you can view the stunning sunrises and sunsets, the railway station and centre, and a large part of Didcot to the south. On the north side you can find two adjecent fish lakes called Ladygrove Lakes, which has our placed Earthcache GCBBE29.
About this GeoCache:
We often climb this little hill to view the beautiful sunsets and trains during good weather, and our GeoKids spent lots of time in the playground nearby. Again lots of wonderful memories here.
This cache is a bison tube and hanging low somewhere at top of the Ladygrove Hill, so please be safe and careful, especially when visiting with GeoKids and/or GeoPets. Please expect muggles at most times of the day. The footpaths towards the hill top could be muddy and slippery sometimes.
Please also respect the local residents when searching for the cache. You do not need to enter any private land.
Please also note:
Please bring your own pen, and open & close the cache lid carefully so the cache and log book can survive longer. You might need a tweezer to help retrieve the log paper.
Please also replace exactly as found due to obvious reason, and please be careful with the possible thorns, stinging nettles, and overhead tree branches! Long sleeves, trousers, and gloves are recommended.
You do not need to enter any private land.
Thank you and enjoy GeoCaching!
