Eckington: Hi, this looks like the cache needs some TLC. Could the owner please undertake a maintenance visit to check it out and replace any damaged items. In the meantime I'm archiving it but I'll happily unarchive it if/when it's sorted assuming it still meets the guidelines.

Thanks, Eckington (eckingtons31@tesco.net)

Geocache Description:

Harefield ‘Grand Union’ Series. #1

We recommend you park at the Free Car Park (see below) or on the street nearby it. (Moorhall Road)

The Grand Union Canal between Uxbridge and Rickmansworth runs alongside many lakes and other stretches of open water resulting from mineral extraction in past years. In places, just below Widewater Lock, the bank between the canal and one of these lakes has completely disappeared and through the gaps we can see scores of boats moored in Harefield Marina.

A marina operated here in the 1950s and 60s, however the site became run down during the later 60s and 70s. In 1985 a new owner took over and cleared out the many wrecks of old timber boats that had been left, and now the marina is thriving with over 250 mooring spaces.

The complete series of 6 caches will take about 2.5 hours.
