Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed at Plasworth Viaduct.  It is easy to drive under this "bridge" thinking it is just a low bridge passing under the East Coast Mainline.  Actually, its a viaduct and the road passes just under the end arch.


Just in case it needs to be said:

  • This cache is adjacent to a road (not terribly busy - but a road all the same).
  • The East Coast Mainline. There is absolutley no reason for anyone to go even close to the rail network. If you are thinking of climbing a fence or a gate to find the cache - you've gone absolutely wrong, at best you will get a DNF, at worst you wont be coming home.
  • There is a river in the valley.
  • The bridge has a maximum clearance of 13ft. If you happen to drive a double decker bus - do not attempt to drive to the cache.

Please use your brain when accessing this cache for your own safety and that of any little cachers you bring with you, and any animals. This is a simple drive by cache.  My 6 year old who has helped place this cache wants you to understand that a drive-by-cache does actually mean you have to park and get out the car to do it.  He did think you might be able to do it by driving past really slowly... ...but probably not a good idea!

This cache is a fairly large container. Rory is keen that it is used for trinket swapping, and trackables.

Inside the original cache container:

  • Wooden Cubes
  • 'Lego' Fire engine
  • Bubbles
  • Ball
  • Padlock
  • Stamper
  • Crayons
  • Slime

These are trinkets that children are likely to like. Like Bridges, Trains, Cars and Water!  There is a Lottery Scratch Card for the FTF.

Also setting out on his mission is Dottie the Ginger Bread Man Trackable (https://coord.info/TB5DJHP)
