Only now spotted that these were also on opencaching. So a belated log from me.

I've actually did them in two sessions on foot.

When I looked in our Berkshire street atlas to find somewhere to park for a little circular walk taking in the next few of these, guess what? I found the paper with previous coords, etc! Ho hum. Anyway, this was an easy find on a path we'd not been along before.

Had the same problem as Amberel. Reached close to GZ on the road and saw signs of what appeared to be a gate, but very overgrown. Thne read Amberel's log and then the cache page for BBC6. REtraced steps and an easy find.

When we looked at this series soon after publication it seemed as though this part of the route would entail a walk along the busy A3095. Not so: there's a bridleway here so new that it's not on our maps though it is on the OS's online maps and visible on Google Earth and Street View.

Thanks for the cache.

Continuing the superb bike ride...

I had great difficulty getting to this one. The cache page for #6 has since been modified to show the start of Hawthorndale Lane, but I didn't have the benefit of this, and neither the 25,000 nor 50,000 OS maps that I carry show any sign of it. Consequently I rode my bike along the main road until I reached the boarded up cottage, where my GPSr pointed 90 feet across the gated and padlocked cottage grounds.

At this point I was still completely unaware of the existence of Hawthorndale Lane - it wasn't at all obvious that there was a bridleway at the other side of the grounds.

It looked like there may have been an overgrown path to the north of the cottage grounds, and I battled my way through dense thorns until I concluded there was no way through there. Finally I carried on up the road to see if there was any other way round the back of the cottage, whereupon I found the other end of Hawthorndale Lane, and thence the cache.

TBH, I'm a bit peeved with the OS for not showing this path!

Once I reached GZ, the cache was a quick find!

Thanks for the cache,

Rgds, Andy
