Part of a circular wildlife walk of eleven caches across the Burston wetlands and farmland and Trent and Mersey Canal known as the Aston-to-Burston trail. The distance is around 3 miles across relatively flat ground. This is a great walk which is usually quiet and muggle free. It can be very muddy so walking boots or wellies are recommended. Parking can be found at Aston Marina in Stone or in Burston. There is a map showing the walk route below.
Lapwings are quite rare birds with beautiful plumage. In spring/summer you can see them in the fields on both sides of the canal near this geocache. You may notice them circling far above while giving their distinctive "pee-wit" cry. If you are lucky lapwing chicks can be seen in the fields in April/ May.
The geocache was a small camouflaged tupperware box. It is now a round tub with room for small swaps and trackables. Please rehide well so that the cache isn’t visible from the towpath.
Congratulations Russe11 on the First to Find!
