Geocache Description:

This is 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).

Yoho National Park is located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains along the western slope of the Continental Divide in south-eastern British Columbia.

Yoho NP is bordered by Kootenay National Park on the southern side and Banff National Park on the eastern side in Alberta. The name Yoho comes from the Cree word for awe and wonder.

Yoho covers 1,313 km2 (507 mi2) and it is the smallest of the four contiguous national parks. Yoho, together with Jasper, Kootenay and Banff National Parks, along with three British Columbia provincial parks—Hamber Provincial Park, Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, and Mount Robson Provincial Park—form the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage Site.

The park's administrative and visitor centre are located in the town of Field, British Columbia, beside the Trans-Canada Highway.

Cache Type.

The surface of the tow path from Etruria Junction to the Stockton Brook road bridge is suitable for puchchairs, bicycles and wheelchairs. Strollers can be taken along the towpath, however reaching the cache with a stroller would be a problem without help. Further on from here the path is muddy and uneven. Caches have been located on the towpath or within a few steps of it

This is a Nano Tube, you should find inside a log book, please bring your own pen or pencil. Please ensure that that you put the cache back into exactly the same place that you found it after logging your find. , This will make maintenance so much easier. Thank you.
