It's
back! After some month's absence Not on Your Knelly is back,
with a slightly new name - and a new location! Don't worry,
it's essentially the same cache - it's only moved about 20m from
the previous spot, but hopefully the new hiding place will be less
muggle-prone, and provides a great reason for you to find it all
over again/
Kneller Gardens is a typical suburban
park, with grass, swings, slides, football pitch and tennis courts.
In the summer it's full of families enjoying themselves - if you go
at a busy time you will need to stay very alert for passing
muggles.

corner
The park is bordered by two streams: along
the Eastern edge is the the Duke of Northumberland's river, an
artificial waterway dug to take water to Syon House; while the
Southern boundary of the park is the River Crane.
The River Crane Valley forms a 'green ribbon'
through this part of West London, most of it is walkable, and
indeed, this stretch forms part of the London
Loop footpath.
Follow the river upstream, on foot or bike, and
you can find a number of other caches: The
Buzz Box (about a mile away, and which you can easily do in the
same outing) followed by
The Burro Box, and the
Heathrow Hikers' Cranford Park Cache. Beyond that, the Crane
reaches the Grand Union Canal where you'll find
Elthorne Park and canal walk |
