Located in a pretty London park, 10min walk from car, bit of a climb at the end.
This is our first cache so hope it has everything it needs. The cache is accessible between 8am and dusk as this is when the park gates are open, check the opening times on the board just inside the entrance if you are visiting late to avoid getting locked in. I think the best place to park the car is on the street at N 51 29.125 W 000 15.524. Its a reasonably quiet residential street and there is usually plenty of space.
NB: There is a strong wireless network signal on channel 10 here called "branczik" which IsAdHoc but is encrypted.
Nearby you will find an entrance to the park. From there it is a 10 minute walk to the cache. Last 10 metres involves a bit of a climb, but there is a difficult way up and an easy way up. Please be discreet as the park can get pretty busy. Cache is a 2 litre tupperware container wrapped in a black bin bag.

The park is really pretty in the summer and has plenty of places to stop and picnic. Chiswick house, built in 1729 by Lord Burlington is worth a visit, its in the middle of the park. William Hogarths house is a short walk away and is free to enter. There can be a bit of a nuisance with Trolls in the park. If they try to mislead you and tell you to ignore your GPS then just walk away. They're harmless generally. Unless you get them wet.
Very, very sad. We went to look for the cache and it has gone without trace :( We scoured the whole area around here and there is no sign of it. I'm really p*issed off as it was so full of good stuff including travel bugs by the sounds of it. Archiving cache, may place another one nearby at some point.
