Geocache Description:

A traditional cache along the picturesque Stroud Water Navigation. 

This is a series of initially seven caches placed along the Stroud Water Navigation. The Stroud Water Navigation is the first part of the Canal link between the Severn and the Thames. It originally brought boats from the Severn to Stroud. Currently the canals are undergoing restoration and are becoming a very pleasant recreation route. These caches have been placed with the kind permission of the Cotswold Canals Trust. I have opted not to number the caches for the good reason that I may add more in between as restoration takes place and also there are existing caches between some of mine.

Oil Mills Bridge
This bridge has been cleverly modified from the old structure. Full marks to the architect. Just down the lane is the Mill that gives the bridge its name. The mill origanally processed flax for linseed oil, then later textiles, and now snow! Read the information plaque on the bridge and look at the sculpture. This cache is a little further from the structure than the others.

Congratulations VicHay and ClanKenn on a joint FTF despite the weather
