All around Burgh Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

andyandchris: Went to check out this cache today, after a report from chrissy55 about problems with one of the footpaths, and cache not found. We were amazed how overgrown the area had become. Parking no longer possible at the trailhead (long grass), footpath impassible, and no sign of the cache. Therefore we are archiving the cache.

Alternatively, you can take the bus from Ipswich or Woodbridge (service 30) to Burgh church (described as Clopton War Memorial on timetable) then walk to the above point. See www.traveline.org for timetables (buses do not run on Sundays or Bank Holidays).
