+mollyjak Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Going to Heathrow in 3 weeks to pick up our son - coming back from Australia. Can anyone recommend some easy caches to do on the way up please? Have already done the Swindon one. Thanks for any information. Quote Link to comment
+The Wombles Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 ...........Have already done the Swindon one......... I see you've done Lydiard Park. You could also do M4 J17 Cache and Dash (very close to the M4) and also Coate Water (near M4 J15, 15 minutes from the motorway). Quote Link to comment
+mollyjak Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 They will do nicely - thank you We regularly travel up to a relative who lives in Surrey so go up the M4 quite often so if there are anymore ?????? Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 just a short way off the motorway you can do the kennet and avon canal series from hungerford to reading area. that'll keep you busy for a few trips. Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Cranford Park Cache is very suitable. Quote Link to comment
+Stuey Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Depending on which terminal you are heading to, this one is just off the M25 at J14, just one junction from the M4. You don't even need to get out of the car. GCK9TW County Compass - South (Bucks) by Happy Hippo (1/1) We also picked off one not too far from the M4 on our way back to Devon from London. If you come off at J13 and go back on at J12 (or vice-versa), it's a nice little break from motorway speeds. You can park very very close. GCQBHG The River Pang Series - Bucklebury Ford by The Cache Hoppers (2/1) There are also The Doomed Villages and Cranebank Trolls which are near Heathrow. I've not done them, but if you need to kill some time waiting for a delayed plane maybe, these will leave you close enough to the airport to dash back quickly if need be. Quote Link to comment
+tteggod trackers Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 which part of surrey do you head to? Quote Link to comment
+mollyjak Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Small village called West End - a few miles from Woking. I know there are a few around there as I did print out information last year but didn't have time to do them. We did one of the canal caches at Hungerford on our way back last year as well as Silo Common. Thanks again to all who posted information, we can work our way through them. Quote Link to comment
+tteggod trackers Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 We are just back from doing series of 3 on Chobham Common. Chobham cannisters.Not far from West End.There is one in Woking park too,although we are yet to do it. Quote Link to comment
+Gralorn Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 There are several along the M4 if one is willing to come off and do a few more extra miles, have a look at the caches shown on UK cache page. Quote Link to comment
+Chaotica_UK Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Just off the M4/M5 Interchange is Savages Wood (GCRGDZ) in Bradley Stoke. Very easy to find, just park at Tescos on Bradley Stoke Way and its the otherside between Bradley Stoke Road and the M5. Mark Quote Link to comment
