Geocache Description:

A cache located where once was the largest lake in the UK. Now a very flat landscape, with rich soil.

As this is my very first cache I'm dedicating it to that celebrated and infamous B-movie director Ed Wood.

Infinitely more famous now than he ever was when alive, Edward D. Wood Jr. died penniless, and was tagged worst director of all time - but was given the singular honour of a full-length bio-pic by Tim Burton. Starring Johnny Depp and entitled Ed Wood this bemusing run through Ed's life includes sequences of shooting Bride of the Monster, Glen or Glenda? and Plan 9 From Outer Space (in fact, Plan 9's semi-official status as the Worst Film Ever Made gives it a substantial cult following today).

He was also infamous for always using the first (and only) take - I guess if I ever got into movies I would be him! :)

The cache
The track that runs alongside the site of the cache is known historically as Clive's Lane and gives a great, broad view of the countryside around. The cache is in a clip-it plastic box and any local antics are excusably just that.

Enjoy this reasonably easy cache to Ed Wood.

NOTE: Be aware of pheasant pluckers from October to February.
