This series of caches is designed
to show you some lovely areas on both sides of the English and
Welsh border. This walk is around Saughall (England) and parts of
Sealand (Wales). There are a mixture of different caches ranging
from Nano to Small, and all ranging quite widely in difficulty. I
hope you enjoy this series.
This walk is around 3 miles in
length and starts at Sea Hill Road, with parking in a large lay-by.
(Waypoint below).
THE WALK:
1. After parking
your cache-mobile, turn around and head in the direction of
Saughall village. Turn right when you come to a tarmaced path. This
is The National Cycle Network 5. Walk until you come to a T
junction by a very strange milepost known as The Fossil Tree
design. There are many different designs all over the
country.
2. Turn left at
the junction and carry on walking to a pair of metal gates, here
you will walk past
TeamOneWheel's CycleFest - NCN No 5 Chester ~ Deeside
cache.
3. After a short
distance, you should see a bridge in the distance. Once at the
bridge, you can find the
Fly Fifers' DNFs?? cache. Continue walking until you reach
another T junction. Turn right and on to a road; immediatly turn
left and take the public footpath to the right opposite the white
house.****THERE MAY BE COWS IN THIS
FIELD****
4. Continue
walking along this path, this was one of the many banks built when
the River Dee was diverted to stop it flooding, until you reach the
end of the embankment. Cross a metal bridge and stile back into
England and walk along the field until you reach a mud
track.
5. Turn right down
the track and walk until you reach a gate with a sign saying
'Private Keep Out'. Turn left here through a kissing gate and walk
up a steep hill until you reach yet another gate. Walk through the
gate and on to a lush field.
6. Follow the path
until you reach a wooden bridge. Cross this and walk through
another field diaganolly coming towards another kissing gate. Walk
through this gate and another one further on until you come to Sea
Hill Road.
6. Turn right
along the road until you reach your car. I hope you have enjoyed
the walk.
