Geocache Description:

A nice stroll along the bank of the river Ouzel.


From springs just north of Dagnall, the river initially forms the boundary between Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is joined by the Ouzel Brook from Houghton Regis, and by Whistle Brook (also known at Ivinghoe as Whizzle Brook)[5] from Pitstone. Near Grove Lock, just south of Leighton Buzzard, it was once joined by Ledburn Brook, which has since been diverted into the Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union Canal). At Leighton Buzzard, the river is joined by Clipstone Brook from Milton Bryan via Hockliffe and Clipstone, and to the north of the town the excess water from the canal is released into the river at the Twelve Arches. Information from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Ouzel

This wooden bridge is one of our favourite places to cross the river on our way to the canal. We had wanted to place the cache on the bridge, but could not find any suitable hiding places. You are looking for a 35mm film canister. Pleases replace carefully and hide well.
