This is the first cache I've hidden, so feedback is welcome.
I've put it somewhere I've seen almost daily, while stuck at
traffic lights on my way to work (it's inspired by the drive-by
caches of the USA, like
GCR5NG - Ben).
The cache is hidden in a corner of Horfield Common, the strand
of green strung alongside Kellaway Avenue from Gloucester Road to
the Golden Hill Tesco store. There are a couple of play areas on
the common, the Horfield Sports Centre at one end and the Ardagh
tennis courts and bowling green at other, but this part sometimes
seems almost forgotten. I wonder how many other commuters stopped
here ponder who the odd memorial is for, or think about coming back
here for a picnic on the grass, some day when the weather is
better.
The cache is a 35mm film cannister, containing pencil and log
sheet. The hiding place is near a busy road, so if you have small
children or dogs with you please use caution (and the pedestrian
crossing!) There's lots of on-street parking space nearby, except
when there's a match on at the Memorial Stadium.
According to Shakespears Clowns the feature the cache is hidden
in used to be located in Egerton Road, Bishopston, but was moved to
its current site around the beginning of WW2. If anyone knows any
more of its history, please let me know!
