Sarah and I found this cache as the last of three this evening. Well,
Leighgeogers (the AS Level Geography students caching team who set this cache) didn't go far for this fieldtrip did they! It's right on the doorstep of the new Leigh Sixth Form College.
We parked in a housing estate on the Pennington side of the college and found a pretty little footpath past a private fishing lodge which led to the back of the college, which we first saw through a narrow bridge. However we didn't go under the bridge , but turned left and carried on along the footpath. After another right turn the GPSr announced with a beeo that we had arrived at Ground Zero.
One particular tree stood out as being likely candidate - it was a great shape and seemed a prime place for a cache in this location. Yep, that's where we found it, covered in a few sticks and leaves. Sarah stamped our stamper, wrote the date and I took the insect Travel Bug to move on somewhere else.
As we'd never been on these footpaths before we took a different route back, having a quick look round the college buildings and sports facilites. Then off to Aldi to buy some pizzas for tea!
