Geocache Description:

A cache by the River Avon with fine views across the Vale of Evesham to Bredon Hill


This cache is located near the west bank of the River Avon in Pershore, Worcestershire. The river here is held back by the weir at Pershore Lock, visible to the south of the cache location, so is ideal for mooring the narrowboats which ply these waters. Often they are attempting what is known as the Avon Ring, a 10 day to two-week long boating adventure using the Avon Navigation, the River Severn, the Worcester & BIrmingham Canal, and the Stratford-on-Avon Canal.

Pershore is a fine Georgian town with many individual shops, pubs and cafes. The major retailers have made few inroads into the high street. Pay parking (free after 18:00) is available in a large Wychavon carpark by the supermarket and leisure centre. There is also some limited free roadside parking in the town.

The cashe is a small clip-lock box, suitable for TBs, covered in black tape located on public land near a footpath and the river. Keep an eye on children who may succumb to the urge for an involuntary swim - it is not recommended - they will get very cold and their splashing about may disturb the more senior residents who like to stroll these parts on a warm evening.

For most of the time the river here maintains a constant level but will flood when conditions are right (or wrong), making the cache location unapproachable (except by canoes and ducks).

Muggle infestations are likely at certain times of the year so beware. You will need a pen.

Please make sure that the cache is not visible when you return it to its hide.

Congratulations to Thejenks7 for FTF!
