Geocache Description:

The Wyrley & Essington Canal extends for almost 4 kilometres through South Staffordshire from Essington to Great Wyrley.

This section was once busy with boats carrying coal from the pits of Great Wyrley and Essington. The canal fell into disrepair after the closure of the pits in mid 1950s.

South Staffordshire Council purchased this section of the canal and restored the site to create a linear walk and wildlife corridor. The site lies within the Forest of Mercia Community Forest.

This cache is a nasty magnetic micro!!! and is a drive-by.

You will need a pencil, may also need tweezers to remove the log.

Car parking (at cache coordinates) is available at Long Lane on site between 8.00am – 4.00pm Monday – Friday and in the drive-way other times. Please note DO NOT PARK DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DOUBLE GATE WHEN LOCKED.

Thought it was about time I put something back into the geo-caching community. This is my first attempt. I plan to hide a few more… enjoy!!!
