Geocache Description:


A Little Bridge over the River Neet.

The River Neet is a tributary of the River Strat which reaches the sea at Bude on the North Cornish coast. Collectively, the Strat and Neet catchments drain an area of approximately 133.5km2.

The bridge is along a gravel path the runs parallel to the A39 "Atlantic Highway", at time a busy road, so please park at the given waypoint rather than crossing from the layby.

The gravel path continues for about another 150 meters beyond the bridge and then stops, which seems odd and begs the question why the path and bridge was constructed in the first place.

The hide. This has taken a little time and thought to place and you will need to search for it, you are not looking for a 35mm pot under a stone!

Warning, you do not need to climb over any fences or the bridge railings to find this cache! Repeat, do not climb over the fences or railings as you could slip, fall and hurt yourself! You have been told.

You can take your time as very few muggles ever come along this path and the cars passing 30 meters away on the A39 will be completly obviously to you.

If you do find the cache please replace exactly as found to keep the difficulty rating at 5.

Happy Caching.



The Little Bridges series was started by Stanthews in 2009 to highlight small footbridges in remote parts of Wiltshire. Since then the series has been expanded by others all over the country and starting to spread fast. There is a stats listing run by Bloodsock, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com and he will give you a number for your bridge, to qualify, the bridge must be a foot bridge too small for vehicles, please make sure your title exactly matches “Little Bridges # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
