This cache is a small magnetic nano containing a log, you'll need to bring your own pencil. It is located near the Lowry Footbridge in Salford Quays. This is a busy area so you'll have to show some stealth :-)
Congratulations 1bman on being First to Find :-)
This cache has views of the Lowry footbridge, the Lowry Theatre accross the water and views down the Canal. The Imperial War Museum North is just a 100 yards further down the canal.
This lifting footbridge spans the Manchester Ship Canal linking The Plaza with Trafford. Opened on 28 April 2000, at 92 metres long the single span bridge provides pedestrian and cycle access across the canal while continuing to maintain access for occasional shipping traffic.
During its construction, the arched deck of the footbridge was floated 500 metres along the Manchester Ship Canal on a special barge sailed
in from Holland in order that it could be lifted into its final position. The bridge has four tubular steel towers each 30 metres in height allowing the deck to be raised 23 metres above the canal waterline when ships need to pass.
