Geocache Description:

A cache placed in the vicinity of one of Milton Keynes' public artworks. Room for small swappables or TBs.


"Octo was commissioned specifically for its site in Milton Keynes. Its twisting ribbon of stainless steel makes a figure of eight when viewed from one direction but changes radically as the viewer walks around the sculpture. The ribbon is based on a Mobius strip (with a double twist), a mathematical term describing a continuous surface created by twisting a long rectangular strip of stainless steel through 180 and joining the ends; the form neither has an inside nor an outside. The artist has sited the sculpture on a pool of water to emphasise its point of contact with the surface and to set up a continual play of shifting reflections as the shining sculpture reflects in the water and in the surrounding mirrored buildings. The sculpture is a memorial to Lord Llewelyn-Davis."

There is plenty of public parking around the GZ (free after 1800).

It's a fairly high muggle area during the day so some stealth will be needed.

The cache is NOT attached to the sculpture which is in the middle of a water feature.

 

PLEASE replace where found and don't leave exposed.
