Geocache Description:

Nice, easy stroll, set by a canal in Worcestershire. Route is buggy-friendly (apart from last few yards to GZ). Can be muddy when wet, no brambles or steep bits, although maybe a few stingers! Located between two waterways just off the main towpath. You are looking for a camouflage drawstring bag containing a fuse canister.

Suggest parking at The Lock public house* (N52 24.600/W002 14.987). Good quality ales and food, lovely little dog-friendly tea rooms (open all day), lovely to sit with a drink/meal and gongoozle at the lock. Whilst in the area well worth a visit to Bewdley, a picturesque Georgian town situated on the River Severn with interesting architecture and historical artefacts. Signal can be a bit patchy along the canal, so suggest using offline or GPS receiver. We had signal on car park, and compass facility on mobile worked well. *Please note - Parking is free for up to 4 hours if you are using the pub/tea rooms - enter your registration inside premises. If not using the facilities, there is a charge to use the car park which can only be done online, there is no facility to pay with cash to park. But - lovely coffee, cake, ice cream and snacks at tea shop, and meals etc at pub. Check out the Wolverley Walk caches along the way.
