Geocache Description:

An easy cache placed 90 seconds from the M4 Junction 17 to the cache itself as a diversion for travellers and as a good place to exchange travel bugs. It took me 90 seconds to drive from the Motorway junction, park and walk to the cache - it really is that close.

This is an easy cache for Motorway travellers. The location is a small secluded woods adjacent to the M4 Motorway Junction 17 (Chippenham). If you are looking for a beautiful place, don't bother. If you want an easy and very fast diversion from a boring journey, this is for you.

As you approach the cache, just past the Low bridge signpost (when one hundred yards from the cache) turn left into a tiny unsigned road. Park just after the signposts and then enter the wood near the No-entry sign. Do not try to approach from the main road. You'll regret it!

The cache is in a large black cylinder. Please replace the lid carefully to keep it watertight (using the handle helps). To exit this road, carry on past the garage and turn right and right. It's a round trip of a few hundred yards back to the Motorway.

If you need reasonably priced petrol or refreshments, then follow the A350 South towards Chippenham for 5 minutes where you will find a large Morrisons Supermarket with it's own cafe and petrol station (after the dual carriageway, at the roundabout turn right).
