Geocache Description:

This will hopefully evolve into a series of caches along the Caldon Canal in Satffordshire. There is no central  car park but the canal does run through some housing estates and parking can normally be found.

This arm of the Trent & Mersey Canal starts at Etruria Junction and continues onto Froghall Wharf.

Thanks to The Canals & Rivers Trust for granting permission to hide this cache.

 


I was amazed by the Canadian Rockies when I was fortunate to be able to holiday there some years ago and can recommend the country, and it’s friendly people, for a relaxing, yet exhilarating, touring holiday in Alberta (AB) and British Columbia (BC).

Banff / is a town within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is located in Alberta's Rockies along the Trans-Canada Highway, approximately 126 km (78 mi) west of Calgary and 58 km (36 mi) east of Lake Louise. At an elevation of 1,400 m (4,600 ft) to 1,630 m (5,350 ft),[ Banff is the community with the second highest elevation in Alberta after Lake Louise.

The Town of Banff was the first municipality to incorporate within a Canadian national park. The town is a member of the Calgary Regional Partnership.

Banff is a resort town and one of Canada's most popular tourist destinations, known for its mountainous surroundings and hot springs. It is a destination for outdoor sports and features extensive hiking, biking, scrambling and skiing areas within the area. Sunshine Village, Ski Norquay and Lake Louise Mountain Resort are the three nearby ski resorts located within the national park.

Cache Type. The surface of the tow path from Etruria Junction to the Stockton Brook road bridge is suitable for pushchairs, strollers, bicycles and wheelchairs. Further on from here the path is muddy and uneven.

This is a small click lid plastic box wrapped in a green jacket. You should find inside a log book and a pencil / pen. Please ensure that you put them back into the zip lock bag after logging your find.

Similarly, please make sure that you put the cache back into exactly the same place that you found it, this will make maintenance so much easier. Thank you.
