This cache forms part of a series
of caches placed with the aim of being a quick cache and dash from
motorway junctions throughout the country.
We managed to squeeze this cache
in on the Kennet & Avon Canal - it is 0.55m from J12 of the M4.
You should be able to complete this cache and return to the
motorway within thirty to forty minutes. For an extra bit of fun,
please make a note in your web log as to how long it took. You are
looking for a one litre capacity plastic box/ At the time of
placing it was well stocked with trades, and has been restocked a
few times since but unfortunately things get taken rather than
swapped.
Recommended parking is at
Sheffield Bottom car park. There is a width restriction on the
swingbridge crossing the canal which will cause a problem for
anyone in a motorhome or towing a caravan. The cache can be found
0.1m from the car park, along the canal towpath. If using this as a
stop-off from a motorway journey, and looking for refreshment, we
highly recommend nearby Theale village which has a good selection
of pubs and sandwich outlets.
On the other side of the motorway
junction you will find a large retail park - outlets including
Sainsburys, McDonalds, Next, a large Boots store, a sports shop,
Homebase, Carpetright, Dunelm Mill and a fuel station. This
supposedly is to be the location for a new IKEA store
also.
