Hidden in depths of a little known wood in Swindon
We had a cache (Tell Me A Story) in the same wood until recently, but the hiding place became wrecked and the cache box has disappeared. However, the wood is such a nice place that we have set up this new cache, in the same woods but a different location, different name. So if you have previously found Tell Me A Story, have a go at this new cache.
This wood is called Great Copse, which despite its name is not all that large. Most people who live in Swindon have never been there, or possibly even know of its existence. The easiest place to park is in the south of Swindon in Marlborough Lane that is right next to the Mariott Hotel. Take the footpath immediately to the right of the Intel sign. An alternative would be at the Croft Country Park (free parking). This is just off a roundabout opposite the entrance to the big white Nationwide building. Early in the year there is usually a wonderful display of bluebells, and later the scene changes to a vast sea of ferns.
Being inside a wood it can be difficult to get an accurate GPS reading, but the co-ordinates given should get you pretty close. Because of the potential difficulty, especially at times when the sattelites are a bit soarse in the sky, we have a given a straight forward clue.
