Dead Wait Traditional Cache
Capt Slog: The box didn't turn up.
I've decided that I'm not going to provide free metal boxes for little chavs to keep their [whatever] in, so I'll call it a day.
I'd like to say a big thank you to all who visited.
Cheers
Capt Slog

This cache has been relocated, close to it's original hiding place. A short walk from either of the two suggested parking spots.
Please remember that 'perishables' are not supposed to be left in caches, so no conkers, apples etc. which ruined the contents over winter!
1. Park opposite Breaston Church and follow the public footpath which runs down "Church View" and then across the fields. This path is not buggy friendly; it crosses stiles and a railway line and is about 600m to the cache.
2. There is limited parking on the Draycott to Sawley road at N52 53.375 W001 19.668, the cache is then a short walk along the footpath, around 475m. There is better parking at Orchid Wood Nature Reserve at N52 53.256 W001 19.465, I suggest you then walk west through the Reserve to the footpath.
However you get there, the coordinates should lead you to along a well used footpath, and the cache is hidden just a few metres south from the railway crossing on the west side of the path. It's not in the obvious place, please make sure that you leave it this way, it's been a little too easy to find as it was before.
Having found the cache, I suggest you take it south, 125m along the path to N 52° 53.546 W 001° 19.465 and sit on the stones you find there to sign the log etc. These stones were the original cache site and there used to be a plaque on the railings telling you what I'm going to tell you now....
Many years ago, Breaston did not have its own graveyard, and coffins would be carried from the church at Breaston to the graveyard at Wilne. The stones were once part of a table on which the coffin bearers could place their heavy load and have a rest for a while; hence "Dead Wait".
Good hunting.
