Old Bank Gate Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Avos72: Unfortunately I am archiving these as they keep going missing and after a message I have received from another geocacher stating that they have been pinching them I don't see the point in putting the time and effort in. Very disappointed as this was a nice series! I have notified the reviewers about the cacher in question so hopefully they wont interfere with anyone else's in the area.
The caches that are still active in this series I will leave until they go missing so grab them whilst they are there! Thanks.

Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of 14 caches around the Marshside Wetlands, this circular walk should take about 1hr 30mins. This cache can be done as a park and grab, there is a parking spot at the side of the road. If you are doing all 14 caches please park at Junction Pool. This is an extremely busy road please keep an eye on your kids and dogs


The bank used to be the sea defence bank until the construction of Marine Drive some years ago. The re-claimed land on the left is now an RSPB reservation with many viewing platforms and hides along the front. The public footpath along the top of the bank is now part of the Sefton Coastal Footpath which runs from the northern outskirts of Liverpool through dunes, marshes, the towns of Southport and Crosby and passes Ainsdale Nature and Formby National Trust Reserves. South of Southport part of the route coincides with the Trans Pennine Trail.

 

On a clear day you can see North Wales, Snowdonia, the Lake District and Blackpool.

 

This cache is a black, tall turtle type tub with room for small swaps and trackables. You Will Need to bring your own pen. Please replace as found.

Happy Caching
