The cache container you are looking for is a cliplock box which contains a logbook and pencil also room for swaps and trackables. Cache is close to broome beck so care should be taken with younger children.
This is the second in a series of caches placed along a footpath that runs parallel to the A143 from Dithingham to Ellingham. When the bypass was constructed bunds were formed along each side, planted and landscaped to keep the flight paths of owls above the traffic, so keep your eyes open for the odd owl flying overhead.
The Broome Bypass
The A143 runs from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk to Haverhill in Suffolk. For much of the route between Yarmouth and Bury St Edmunds the road is classified as a primary route. Over the years the road has been much improved with new bypasses opening at regular intervals. The last of these being the Broome/Ellingham bypass which was approved by planning in 1999 after a long campaign by local residents. The project was started in the autumn of 2000 and completed in March 2002.
Construction of a path for use as bridleway and cycle track together with areas of landscape mitigation, in conjunction with the proposed A143 Broome/Ellingham bypass the footpath runs parallel to the road just beyond the trees and bushes.
Cache containers vary to make them a bit more interesting to find. There are a few big enough to take trackables and other goodies for children and some just containing a logbook not suitable for small children to retrieve, please remember a pen and a log removal tool will be needed for some of the caches!
The path is 1.6 miles long and is usually popular with cyclists so stealth may be required at times.
