There are a few ways in which the word 'Peace' may be
interpreted. In this case, I've chosen to interpret it as meaning
'tranquillity'.
You can't get much more tranquil than a pleasant stroll beside a
babbling brook on a warm, summer's afternoon. Just the gentle
bubbling of the stream, the murmur of the breeze as it whispers in
the trees, the twittering of the song-birds in the hedgerow.....
and the roar of the traffic as it thunders down the A1 just a few
yards away.... Oh well, you can't have everything.
Anyway, you can't really describe the River Ivel as a babbling
brook either but it really is a rather pleasant walk
never-the-less. You'll find ample free parking at
N52° 05.568' W000° 16.101'. From here
just follow the river north across Biggleswade Common. You'll be
passing close to an information board at
N52° 05.703' W000° 16.191', so why not
stop and learn a few things. For instance... The inaugural meeting
of the town football club was held in LMNP. Did you know that there were 108 Common
Rights and each Right entitled the owner to graze 1 horse,
Q cattle and a breeder?
This cache is quite large, a 2.1/2 litre 'Lock & Lock' type
plastic box in a camouflage bag. Large it may be but not so easily
seen. Take care when retrieving and replacing it.
Oh yes.... there could be up to 300 cattle grazing on the common
but they're not carnivorous. If you ignore them,
they'll probably extend you the same courtesy. If you have a dog
with you, please keep it under close control whilst on the
common.
When replacing the cache, please make
sure it is secure under it's 'retainer' and out of sight. Please
don't leave sharp, pointy things or items of food or drink in the
cache.
If you enjoyed this cache, or even if you
didn't, please consider logging on to GeocacheUK and giving
it a rating.
