Geocache Description:

A cache on the banks of the River Cole between Cole End and Coleshill.

I've wondered for some time why there wasn't already a cache in this spot. Having placed 2 caches further up the River Cole, I thought the time was right for another.

There are several bridges over the river to the north of Coleshill, one of which you may need to access the cache if you park in the recommended spot. The cache is located under another.

The cache has been placed quite close to the river, and hopefully it will survive if the level of the water rises. The area is popular in the summer months, so a degree of stealth may be required at times.

The cache itself is a small lock n lock box in a camo bag with a few goodies and a FTF badge - please make sure that the cache is hidden snugly into it's hidey-hole once you have signed the log etc, as I'm sure the area attracts the local youths when weather permits!

Unfortunately the area has been spoiled in places with graffiti, but it's a nice spot nevertheless. It's an area I often take the dog for a run round, usually with other dogs!

I have provided additional waypoints for parking (roadside), and for the pedestrian bridge that you need to cross to access the cache itself. Needless to say, watch the road and the water if you have mini-cachers with you.

Due to tree cover etc, I had to average the co-ordinates from three different spots, so I'd be grateful if finders could log the co-ords as they see it and I will adjust them as necessary if needed.
