Motorway Madness Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

mojoh: Regrettably we have decided to archive this cache after 13 years. The cache hiding place has deteriorated and the box was found in the open by a very friendly muggle who got in touch and returned the box to us. This was one of our first caches and it has earned some very nice compliments over the years but due to the length of the walk involved has not been visited as often as we hoped. Thanks to all the cachers who braved the trek and found it.

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is approached by a public footpath from just outside the Berkshire village of Wickham

This 4 part multi-cache derives its name from the fact that the first part of the walk is on a footpath which runs alongside the busy M4 motorway. Please do not be put off by the noise or pollution as the rest of the walk, which is substantial, should make it worthwhile.

The first three clues are contained in black tubes, 4 inches long with a pop off cap on one end. The first and second tubes contain the co-ordinates of the next and the third gives the co-ordinates of the cache position. The co-ordinates above are of the location of the first clue.

The footpath crosses a couple of fields which could be muddy in very wet weather and some exposed areas of the walk can be very windy so come prepared. Update 2/9/04: Since placing the cache the farmer has cultivated the fields which the footpath crosses and ploughed across the path. The path is well signed and can still be used.

The cache is a green ammo box and has a motorway theme. It contains several model cars, trucks etc. and we would like to maintain this theme if possible so please try to place motorway related items in it when visiting. Also inside is a disposable camera so please take a picture and note the number in the logbook or on the cache web page. There are some ‘found it’ cards too so please take one, if you take the last one please let us know so that we can re-stock.

Parking is available at the start of the footpath right next to the motorway bridge outside the village of Wickham at co-ordinates: - N51, 26.906 W001, 25.465

There is another Mojoh cache in this area so why not try that one too?
