Life's a Beach #51 - Axmouth (a.k.a. "A Tale of Two Bridges")
Following the recent first anniversary of the excellent Life's a Beach series, I thought that it was time to add another little known beach to the series. Axmouth might not officially have its own beach, but I'm claiming this one for the village. This cache will take you to a few of Axmouth's interesting landmarks, and then on a short walk along a stretch of the world famous South West Coast Path. There are 4 stages for you to gather information and then a short stroll to GZ. The cache is not at the posted co-ordinates which are for stage 1 of the multi-cache. Enjoy your visit to Axmouth Beach!
