Geocache Description:

The cache is a small cylinder which is camouflaged. It has enough room for a track-able. Please let me know if you have ever gone crabbing before.

When you get the cache take the cache of the string. Please rehide in the same spot! NO PENCIL!

When I come to Felixstowe there are a couple of things that I love to do. Whenever I come to Felixstowe I stay with my grandparents. We see them as many times as we can each year. I love to spend time with them, my grandpa and I build different projects every time I come.

 

My first favourite activity in Felixstowe is to go to the ferry and go crabbing. We use our own homemade crabbing kits. If you would like to go you need a small net, sting, stones (you can find some at the ferry), and some bacon. Put your bacon and stones into the bag then tie the sting tightly onto the net. Then you are ready! Find a space at the ferry and start crabbing. It is very easy, just pull your net out of the water when it feels heavy. If you want keep your crabs (though return them at the end) you can put them a bucket with some sea water. Every time that I have gone, I have got at least 20 crabs after being there for a hour or two, the best I have caught is 56 please leave a comment if you brake my record.

 

After the crabbing is over you can walk back between the sea and the golf course into Felixstowe. You can also get to the ferry this way as well. If you don’t want to walk, or you just don’t have the time there is parking at the ferry.

Thanks to my big brother Owen&Mark for helping me design the cache.
