Geocache Description:

Small cache at Widewater Lagoon Nature Reserve in Lancing.

Widewater is a landlocked brackish lagoon approximately 1200 metres long and 50 metres at its widest point when the lagoon is in flood. It was created by Man from the original Adur estuary after been landlocked by longshore drift and violent storms. The waters are replenished by the sea, which filters up through the basin of the lagoon on very high tides, and also by rain water. There is a dramatic rise in the level after heavy rainfall, more than can be explained by the rain landing directly on the lagoon flood plain. Man has built up banks on the perimeter of the lagoon to prevent flooding to this nearby reclaimed land, now turned to residential use. The quantity of water contained within the lagoon and salinity are liable to fluctuate wildly. The flood plain covers an area of 18.5 acres.

It's a lovely place to sit and watch the wildlife.

There is a large car park here. It is pay and display between March and September but I couldn't find a sign giving charges. Public toilets and a small refreshment kiosk are also located by the car park.

You are looking for a small lidded container holding notebook, pencil, and some small swaps. Container is just about large enough for travel bugs. Please take care as the footpath here is heavily trafficked at times.

PLEASE NOTE: THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED ON THE NATURE RESERVE AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO ENTER THE RESERVE TO RETRIEVE THE CACHE. The cache is on public land immediately south of the reserve: please don't go wandering down to the lagoon area.
