Geocache Description:

You are looking for a very small micro at the point where the canal is carried over the River Frays on an aqueduct, further west are two more of these aqueducts over the River Colne and the Colne Brook.  You may need tweezers or similar to extract the cache from it's hidey hole. You can also see a WW2 pill-box at this junction.


The Cowley Caper will take you on a route of approximately 2.5 miles on towpaths, footpaths and a very short but busy stretch of road, around the Rivers Colne and Frays, Little Britain lake and the Grand Union Canal. Please keep an eye on children and animals near the water and roads and replace all caches as found. There is also the chance to pick up a couple of other caches from the Coal Post series en route. You will need to keep an eye out for bonus numbers in order to find Number 12 Cowley Caper - The Bonus One, not all caches have numbers. There are several parking/access points around the trail but bear in mind that the caches are numbered and bonus cache (12) can be found after Number 11.
