This Stour Splash Trail is designed for cachers to go along the section of the river from Grove Ferry to Fordwich, which covers around 5 miles (each direction). This trail can be tackled from either direction but is numbed as they were placed.
The River Stour is tidal so please check tide times before you plan your trip. The caches were placed during a high tide and checked during the lower tide both in July. Depending on your trip time you may need to stretch a bit further to reach some of the caches.
The container is a 35mm film pot. You will need to bring your own pen.
Geocaching can be dangerous and you are responsible for your own safety.
Note that:
-
You are supposed to have a licence to boat on the river.
-
A buoyancy aid is recommended, even if you can swim.
-
Be prepared to deal with getting wet. Although this may be pleasant in summer it can be dangerous in colder months.
-
Electronic gadgets tend not to cope well with water so if you are taking them with you I recommend that you use appropriate waterproofing protection for them.
