Bushey Niblicks Traditional Cache
Kebabs: Visited the site and failed to find the cache so I am archiving it. I have a sneaky feeling it is still there but the area has changed so much so it was placed.

This cache will take you onto Bushey Hall golf club where Kebabs plays, not as frequently as he would like, with geo-friendly muggle Malc. Malcolm was keen to place this cache so there is hope he can be converted to the cause.
Words of warning. Please don’t put golfers off by creeping up behind them and popping inflated, empty packets of crisps or anything else to spoil their game. Similarly if you hear anyone shout “Four!”, then they can neither spell nor play golf and you should dive for cover immediately.
The cache is a small, painted Tupperware container which can take small trades.
Looking at the logs below you can see the closest entry point is not particularly pleasant. The preferred entry point is now N 51 39.576 W 0 22.953. This has off-street parking and involves a pleasant walk across parts of the course. If you want to save .1 mile and don’t mind grime, then try entering at N 51 39.842 W 0 22.266.
Assuming you opt for the pretty route you will enter in the middle of the 7th hole which is played uphill. To your left down the hill you can see the tee and the green is up the hill and tucked away towards the tree line. The fairway is very wide so players who have been cautious may be tempted to get out “the big dog” and “let rip!” In other words look out for rubbish players!
The footpath is straight across the slope towards the trees. As you start walking across you should see the 6th green part way down the hill. The 6th is a rather long par 3 and runs parallel to the direction of your walk. When you get into the woods the path heads left down the hill.
You will emerge by the green of 5th hole. An interesting par five which requires a little subtlety to avoid the water and near vertical bunkers. Walk around the green and you should see the footpath sign by the fence, just the other side of the tee for the 6th. Take this path onto the cache.
As usual for this sort of tree cover, GPS signals are weak at best. The clue is therefore pretty explicit so you can get in and out before any golfers join you looking for stray balls!
