The Merry Mere Cache

#0001

This is the first of many caches which we hope to hide. This is one that has some real meaning to me as it is somewhere I grew up as a child in the 80’s and 90’s. I used to think of the backwaters almost as my back garden where I used to live over in North Street the back of my garden was the sea wall to the backwaters which overlooked the yacht club.

The fun I have had in that mud as well coming back home covered head to toe and getting stuck many times and swimming in the water to get cleaned off and if you’re lucky you may catch a sighting of a seal.

Mr Carter used to own the old boat lake but was in disrepair from when I can remember in the early 80’s a shame, and most of it now has be knocked down. However this is still worth a view as I believe this is a great place and holds many, many memories.

I hope to god that they don’t go ahead with the monster plans to fill this in and turn it in to houses. So I urge you to have some fun and find the cache and have a good walk around and maybe walk all the way around to the Naze it is a great walk and great fun.

I hope to place some more around this area very soon. I could write a book on the fun and times I have had here. So if you visit Walton come and find this cache there is car park in mill lane and easy access from the road.

I have designed and made this cache with the kids and we are going to place our first trackable here as well (visit link) (so please move on if you find it) also there is a small prize for the FTF as well.

There is lots of room for cache swaps and goodies, RITR Log Book and Pencil.

Please make sure the box goes in to the cameo bag (tight fit I know) and make sure the box is closed well (Lock & Lock) box so should be OK also to hide back in the same place.

Photos and detailed logs welcome (Beware of muggles)

Good luck and enjoy.
