Formerly third in a series of caches taking you through the outskirts of Aycliffe Village to the old windmill. This cache is located at the bridge over the River Skerne, and there are plenty of benches here to take a rest on and enjoy the peaceful view, or even to watch the trains go past on the nearby rail bridge.
This bridge doesn't have an official name but serves as a handy connection from Aycliffe village to the farms beyond down the track. It is quite a big little bridge, being just about wide enough for a car, however it's quaint location at the bottom of the hill, disturbed only by the rumble of the railway gives it a little bridge feel.
The cache is a nano black magnetic container, located somewhere on the bridge. Have fun locating it, it's tough but that's the reason for the difficulty rating, stick with it!
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, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here: - Little Bridges Geocaching Series (littlebridgesseries.co.uk). If you would like to add to the series, please go to this site, on the tab Get Involved click number request and fill in the form. 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.
