Spirit of Phoebe Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

simon180: Unfortunately during the seasonal weather this cache has been lost - several searches have failed to locate it in the known place. There is heavy growth making location difficult. We will re-set the cache in a place less susceptible to the weather in the spring. Sorry everybody :-(

Geocache Description:


A traditional cache hidden along the beautiful Shropshire Union Canal near Tyrley Locks, just south of Market Drayton.  This cache is from our first ever 'hide' session on a fun spring walk along the tow path.  We were walking along past the canal boats including the 'Spirit of Phoebe' which gave us the name for the cache when we looked up and spotted the perfect vantage point to watch the boats pass by. smiley Walk on past the boat in the description and you'll find the cache at GZ which is a little off the tow path and close to the ground. Watch out that the bank isn't too muddy on rainy days!

You are looking for a camouflaged 35mm film canister with a log book (but no pencil!) but watch out for muggles - this area is popular with narrow boats passing regularly!

You can find free parking at the way point just a few metres away from the entrance to the tow path at Tyrley Locks.
