The Cachemuda Triangle

What? The Cachemuda Triangle? That’s a strange name. Well, it’s a strange place.

The area of land in north-east Northamptonshire and north-west Cambridgeshire that is bounded by the A1, A14(ish) and A605 has been chocka with geocaches for as long as I can remember. It’s an area where it’s very easy to go in, and then not resurface for quite some time.

So it’s genuinely The Cachemuda Triangle. Unexplained disappearances abound, albeit temporary disappearances.

You can see from the posts in this section that I’ve been to several places on more than one occasion, and I’ve been going there off-and-on for as long as I’ve been geocaching, nearly.

So why so many geocaches? Well for one, it used to be the home of poshrule. He moved to Downham Market a few years ago, but when he was in Peterborough he pretty much used to fill up every footpath in the area.

In the late 2010’s there was another geocacher who used to do the same sort of thing around Thrapston. And finally, a third cacher who is (I believe) based in Huntingdon.

So The Cachemuda Triangle it is. An area where many caches have been placed and subsequently been removed. An area where many geocachers have trudged many, many miles in search of cahces which may, or may not, be there.

All three of those cachers have become less active in the last few years, as a result of various factors. But not before I managed to make several long days of walking, cycling and driving around the area.
