Wide of the (Bench) Mark (Essex) Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

qichina: Sadly, I'm archiving this cache because Groundspeak is increasingly imposing pointless and unreasonable "rules" that are not published in the public domain. I do not accept that this is fair practice. There is no independent review body to appeal reviewer's apparently arbitrary decisions.

Normal businesses do not require total and absolute obedience from their customers.

Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Thorndon Country Park in Brentwood, Essex. Thorndon is a wonderful park with miles of footpaths where you can enjoy all that park life has to offer. At the Thorndon Countryside Centre you can purchase light refreshments. The Centre sponsors many walks and talks so keep a look out for the bulletin board. There is also a picnic area, a children’s play area and clean toilets here. Pick up a map of the park here to get a good overview of the area.



There are three main parking areas for the park. At the Countryside Centre, at another lot on a bit east of the Centre and at the southern end of the park, where there is another refreshment kiosk and toilets. To park for the entire day there is a £2 fee, but you can use the same ticket to park in any of the car parks. This is one of many caches in Thorndon Park; why not make a day out of it? Bring the kids, the dog a packed lunch and your walking shoes!


This cache lies in the southern area of Thorndon Park. If you want to park close we recommend using the southern car park at N51 35.072 E000 21.392.


Because of the dense tree cover, accuracy was about 40 feet when placing this cache. The cache is a black ammo box measuring 12”x6”x8”. There is no clear path to the cache but we have confidence you'll find a way in. The usual cache trinkets can be found in it.


Now get out there and have fun. Good luck!


PLEASE NOTE: This cache is part of the Thorndon Park Bonus Cache. A link to the cache page is here.
