Geocache Description:

A traditional cache set in a really beautiful location by the River Meese, near the picturesque village of Great Bolas.


The cache is hidden very near to where the River Meese joins the River Tern and flows onwards to join with the River Severn. It's a stunning location with water meadows full of wild flowers at the moment.

You may, or may not, need some special equipment to retrieve the cache - don't worry, it's nothing technical (decode the hint to get a clue what might be involved). We've reflected the possible need for specialist equipment in the terrain rating ;-). We have a spoiler picture showing what you will need to do to get the cache but did not want to put it on the cache page and ruin the fun. If you want to see it before you go, simply email us using our GC.com profile link.

We recommend making this into a circular walk. Suggested parking is on the hard standing at the side of the road in Great Bolas (approx N52 47.318 W2 31.347). Head towards the obvious church tower, which is the church of St John's at Bolas Magna. Follow the track down to the stile at N52 47.139 W2 31.856 before continuing to our Meesechievous - One Good Tern... cache.

From there, follow the Tern round to where the River Tern and River Meese meet at approx N52 47.025 W2 32.232. Then onwards to our Meesechievous - About Tern and Meesechievous - Wild Drover caches. Continue along the Public Footpath, which eventually leads back to the road (the footpath goes through someone's back garden at Bolas Bridge cottage so please respect the owner's privacy and we'd ask that you do not do the cache at night, for obvious reasons). Follow the road back up the hill to the suggested parking location.
