Leigh Fields 2 - Derry Brook Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

RoobyDoo: Made a concerted effort today to do maintenance on no:2 and 3. In fact they all needed doing (except no:1 which I did a few weeks ago).
However, for two reasons, I am archiving the series:

  1. Around Derry Brook, the area is susceptable to flooding. Our wonderful British Summer has made this series impassable for most of this year. It is still up to 3 feet deep in places.
  2. The farmer is not maintaining either the public rights of way or the signage, and the infrequent visitors means that Mother Nature is reclaiming the walks with brambles, thistles and nettles.

I could raise the difficulty of the series, but in my opinion, it is no longer a pleasant walk.
As a result, the caches are lifted and the series archived.

Many thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:


A mini series of five caches in a circular walk of approximately 1.75 miles, beginning at High Bridge where there is easy parking.
Along the route, you will pass the excellent 'Lonely Church' cache (GCM7XG) by The Wombles.
As an alternative, you could park at Waterhay and make your way from there.
A minimum of walking boots are recommended since it can get very muddy in places, and at certain times can flood also.
Signage is not perfect, but does exist if you look closely! This series includes a number of 'hurdles' to overcome in the form of stiles, gates, brooks, bridges and a hurdle, so you'll understand it is not suitable for disabled or 'stroller' cachers. For those with four legged friends, there may be places where they'll need a helping hand too!
Having left no:1 behind, getting to this cache may be a challenge. Derry Brook is susceptable to flooding!
