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.
Across the farm fields between Burston and Aston rare skylarks can often be seen. They are brown birds which fly up and sing loudly when disturbed, they then parachute (a technical term which means descend) to the ground before blending in perfectly with the vegetation. Please keep to the path and keep dogs on leads in this area as skylarks are ground nesting birds and are easily disturbed which may lead to them abandoning their eggs/chicks.
The cache is a small camouflaged tupperware box hidden at GZ. Please re-hide the cache well as this path is walked by local dog owners and we don't want a dog to uncover it.
Please remember to leave an item of greater of equal value if you take something from the cache and please mention it in your log. Congratulations Russe11 on the First to Find!
