Geocache Description:

A few miles upstream of Oxford, the Thames (or Isis) is a gentle meandering river generally well-contained within its banks. A couple of miles south of the city, everything looks the same and the river continues towards the sea as though nothing had happened. In between it becomes unbraided and splits into numerous secondary 'riverlets, many of which are called Streams, hence the title for this series

Osney Stream forms the western border of Osney Island, which is particularly prone to flooding when the Steam tries to escape back into the main river via peoples living rooms!
The Island is a fascinating place - for more information see the webpage above

Parking on Osney Island can be difficult but it's not far from the City Centre. The cache can be done as part of a circuit with several others in this series - as well as other long-established caches

The cache (which is a film cannister) is located on the bank of the stream

The location is wheelchair accessible but users may need assistance retreiving the container
