I can’t help but notice that this “modern missus” is quite-literally being held back by a chain (of oppression?). Not sure that’s what the artist intended or just an unfortunate side-effect of the way it’s been installed, though!

Coordinates look off, to me. I’ve sampled at N 52° 01.500′, W 000° 42.440′, which looks more accurate to me.

Topiary-tastic! Great spot for a virtual.

No sign of any artwork at the GZ, unless a fire assembly point sign counts…

Aside from the (loose) historical connection, there’s little to recommend this waypoint. But thanks for the history lesson!
(Oh, I can’t log this one either… another password needed and no indication of where I can should begin looking for it…)

Lovely sculpture. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting history. Apparently I need a password to log this, though? Not clear where I’m supposed to find that…
Beginning to get the feeling like this cache series might need some attention/updating!
Update 2018-11-18: with thanks to Amberel for the password, now logged as “found”.

Interesting spot. I’m on campus guide an exam but I’ve arrived early. Thanks for the excuse to take a tour around!

Not found… I think? I’m standing at the GZ and despite a reasonable explore I can’t see anything that could be described as artwork in plain sight… :-(

GPSr walked me right to it, and luckily the joggers who were here a moment ago have gone, so there was only a family of moorfowl watching me as I retrieved and signed the log. TFTC!

Great cache container! I’m visiting the Open University to take an exam, this afternoon, and enjoyed the opportunity to find a handful of caches (both these, and the nearby series of virtuals from a different cache listing site) while in the vicinity. TFTC!

A nice easy find; good camo! TFTC.

On campus for an exam but running a little early; had time to find this cache (hampered only slightly by the season…!).TFTC!

Alongside a lane that runs through the Quinton Green Business Park, South of the village of Quinton.
I’ve got an exam in Milton Keynes in the afternoon, so it’d be only a minor diversion for me to come and try to visit this roadside hashpoint. I hope to be there about 10:30.
Failed to turn on the tracklogger on my GPS, but I remembered to get photos at least. This was a quick and easy run, although I did get accosted by a local who saw me hanging around near the wind farm and putting up a sign… I think that after the controversy these epic windmills caused he might have thought that I was putting up a planning notice to erect some more or something. Once I explained what I was doing he seemed happy enough.
Used my new 360° full-panoramic camera to take a picture at the hashpoint; I’ll put a VR-ready version on my website and link it here when I get the chance.

The history of the organisation known as OS is not merely that of a group of earnest blokes with a penchant for triangulation and an ever-present soundtrack of rustling cagoules.
From its roots in military strategy to its current incarnation as producer of the rambler’s navigational aid, the government-owned company has been checking and rechecking all 243,241 sq km (93,916 sq miles) of Great Britain for 227 years. Here are some of the more peculiar elements in the past of the famous map-makers.
