If you finish at this one, number 20 it is possible to go through the footpath so that you end up back to the starting point and then to your parked car. However this particular footpath is usually a quagmire - I have never seen it in an easy walking condition - see photo. Therefore you may wish to go back to The Street and walk to your start point along the nice dry road.
A pleasant walk along the coastline which falls within the Blackwater Estuary SSSI. It is very open to the elements along the coast so do wrap up well against the wind. The footpaths are well trodden so should be reasonably okay to walk on; there are a few stiles to navigate. There are 20 caches in the Steeple Chase series over approximately 4.2 miles.
We have been given kind permission from Natural England to lay geocaches along this area.
No Geocaches are placed in habitats which are sensitive to trampling or other disturbance, in particular there are two types of habitat which are close to your route i.e. salt marsh and shingle plant communities which are both special interest features of the SSSI and are to be avoided.
To minimise disturbance please keep dogs under control and on a lead when in or near habitats likely to support ground-nesting birds including salt marsh, grazing marsh and shingle
PARKING- In Garden Fields or in village hall car park at N 51° 41.580 E 000° 48.040
