This section of The Old Coach Road trail connects the communities
of Goodwood on the 333 highway and that of Harrietsfield along the
306. The cache can be accessed from either side. I approached it
from the 333 and can only speak for the trail from that direction.
I do plan on hiking the other half in the not so distant future.
In any case this is not a cache for the faint hearted.
Approximately 8-9km round trip. The hike shall take you along an
old road that has been washed out from a century or two of erosion
and human abuse. Along the trail you will have to circumnavigate a
number of water hazards and victims of hurricane Juan. Most can be
traversed with out much difficulty but you will have to do some
minor bushwhacking to get around some. Depending on the season wet
feet are definitely a possibility. Spare socks, proper hiking boots
and long pants are highly recommended. Should all go well you
should be able to kick this cache in 2.5 - 3hrs.
The biggest challenge may await you at the cache itself. In the
middle of nowhere you will find a large clearing. Presumably an old
farm, as the field is bordered by a wall of stone. Made when early
land owners cleared their land. The cache is very well hidden and
painted to blend in with its surroundings. After locating the cache
please hide it in the same manner. I did have 3m accuracy when I
hid it so trust your GPSr.
SPECIAL NOTE - Please remember that the majority of this hike
shall take you through one of our provincial parks. Please keep to
the trail to avoid environmental damage. CITO and leave the area
cleaner than it was when you went in to help keep Geocaching a Park
Friendly Sport in the Maritimes. Thanks
