Geocache Description:

I spotted this site on the local OS Map and just had to put a cache here. If you don't understand the title, look at the map !

This is a simple, go and get it, traditional cache. However, please FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY, or you may find yourself very close, but on the wrong side of a river !


Parking is at N 52° 34.100 W° 0 20.624 This is reached by driving down Splash Lane in Castor. Keep on driving straight on down the bumpy lane until you see the green car park sign. Please be aware that this is a very quiet car park and so you should not leave any valuables in your vehicle.
(Added 10/11/06) N.B. Another cacher recently had their car broken into here, so you may wish to park in the village and walk to this point. :-(

IMPORTANT BIT: After parking, ignore the path in the far corner of the car park, and carefully walk back out of the entrance you drove in through. Now, carry on up the track in the direction you drove (away from the village). At the bridge, you have a choice of 3 paths: left, right, straight on. YOU MUST GO STRAIGHT ON, towards the railway line, or you'll end up with wet feet ! Follow the path along the edge of the field and follow your GPSr from here to the cache !

Please note:
1. As you are going very near water, please keep young children under close control. (Pushchair owners: there are also 2 small styles to climb / lift over on the way.)
2. The cows are very friendly and at the end of the day, when I was first visiting this site, they came over for a drink from the river, and to have a good sniff of me and my (foodless) bag.
