You are looking for a clip & lock cache with logbook and pen and swaps placed inside a camouflage bag. Beware of Muggles here and PLEASE ensure the cache is out of sight when returning it! (has been left in view a few times)
A pick up and drop off cache for standard everyday swaps as well as a handy Harwich Port Travel Lodge for travel bugs coming from or going to European and World-wide destinations. Clock up the miles, use the Harwich Travel Lodge.
This is a quick dash and cache designed for both every day swaps and finds but also to help travel bugs into and out of the UK via this busy Port. Ferries from Harwich have been running over to the continent since the 1880's and regularly go to and from Germany, Holland and Denmark as well as World destinations via cruise ships from May to September.
The port offers easy access to the A120 and A12 and onto the Midlands, London and the South East for those incoming caches with no outbound delay for your departure.
Harwich is believed to be derived from the old words here wic, meaning army camp because the Danes camped here in the 9th Century. Harwich became an important naval base. In 1667 a wheel crane was built at Harwich. In 1928 and can still be seen at Harwich Green. In 1665-66 the plague struck Harwich causing many deaths.
Harwich was the home town of Christopher Jones, the master and quarter-owner of the Mayflower, and was also a base for that ship. The famous diarist Samuel Pepys was the Member of Parliament for Harwich. Christopher Newport, captain of the expedition that founded Jamestown, Virginia, also hailed from Harwich. Captain Charles Fryatt lived in Harwich; his body was brought back from Belgium in 1919 and he was buried at Dovercourt.
