and is part of . . . . .
The Nene
Way Series
started by Cassie's
Crusaders
The Nene Way footpath starts at
Badby on the western borders of Northamptonshire. It meanders along
the river and takes you through small villages and towns following
the Nene Valley for 110 miles. It passes through Northamptonshire,
Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire before joining The Wash near Sutton
Bridge. The route was opened with the support of the Countryside
Commission in the late 1980's. |

Simsey Island is less than 1/4 mile long and situated in the River
Nene between Yarwell and Wansford.
From Yarwell follow the Nene Way signs and signpost to 'Simsey
Island Walk'. Then cross over the Lock and Wansford Weir onto the
island.
The cache is towards the end of the island in a 1L Lock&lock
type box, with log book and the usual swaps etc. Please retrieve
and replace it carefully to keep it well hidden.
Walking distances from Yarwell to the cache and back is 1.5
mile.
If walking along the Nene way it is a 1/2 mile detour.
Parking in Yarwell is easiest along Main Street, but please don’t
cause an obstruction or block access.
Please take care with children near the
river.
We would like this series to spread further along the Nene
Way in both directions. Please contact us through our profile if
you would like to add to this series and we will send details of
the code for the cache page.
