From the M1 junction, head towards Hemel Hempstead on the A414.
Turn around at the second roundabout (the junction with the A4147)
and head back towards the motorway on Brakespear Way. Turn left
just after the Shell Garage, onto Buncefield Lane, also marked to
the Cemetery. Opposite the cemetery there is parking for just one
car, right by the start to the footpath and stile. This is at
co-ordinates N51° 45.469 W000° 25.753
From the parking, walk down the woodland path (which goes by a
caravan park). Soon you will reach another stile in front of you,
take this and head into the field ahead. Beware! At the time of
setting there was an open manhole cover along here. This may be
hard to spot, especially at night, so please take care.
Continue on past this to find the cache.
The walk should take approximately three to five minutes from
the parking and was not especially muddy. From the field there is a
good view over Hemel Hempstead. There is also the possibility of
seeing horses training in the bottom half of the field. Although
the ever-present noise from the M1 can be heard from here, the
motorway itself cannot be seen.
This is suitable to do as a night cache as the road lighting
bathes the whole area in plenty of light, which should help.
Enjoy!
