Geocache Description:

Renewed Container - August 2013 - Stealth Mode activated!

Caution - the Cache is near to water - care should be taken with young children.


Bridge 132 is the River Keer Aqueduct. A single span Aqueduct, 43 feet long, carrying the canal 35 feet above the River Keer. Engineer: John Rennie, first used in 1797, though whether the structure is entirely from that date I am unsure of. Certainly the construction would suggest it is.

The footpath along the canal bank forms part of the Cinder Barrow Walk and is very popular during nice weather, so please be careful when retrieving and hiding the cache

Please also excesise caution if you are walking with young children as both the canal and the River offer significant hazzards.

However take some time to enjoy the natural flora and fauna of the area, there are a number of resident ducks (always on the scrounge) and in the springtime often a couple of swans and geese. Lining the banks of the canal are many wild flowers and wild garlic and the hawthorn hedgerow is home to nesting birds.

Parking nearby on the roadside should be undertaken with care and consideration for other road users, but this can be undertaken as part of a canal side walk rather than a quick drive by and grab.

Thank you for visiting this cache and I hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.
