This is the first (physical) cache of the "Let's go Paddling..." caches along the Stour river....
(Please see the list of caches below)
It is a Simple Multi:
Find the Coat of Arms on the Tuckton Bridge (Look Up) at the published coordinates and then the final location can be found at:
N50 43.(fish*lions)04
W001 47.(lions+helmets)(birds+lions)1
Please note this cache can only be found kayaking, paddle boarding or using some other type of watercraft as the final is only accessible from the Stour River (Not from above on Tuckton bridge).
Here is the list of "Let's go Paddling..." caches along the Stour river:
Please note this is only a rough suggested route, some of the final locations that require solving will fall in a slightly different order, however starting with the Adventure Labs and going up the river is suggested if you are aiming to find all the caches in one trip. The whole route from Mayors Mead Launch to the last cache is approximately 3 miles, so 6 miles round trip, which will take approximately 3-4 hours (depending on time taken to find the caches, weather conditions etc), with the return to the car park being a lot quicker following the river back downstream.

They are all intended to be found kayaking, paddle boarding or using some other type of watercraft and most of them are only accessible from the water, however where another method of locating them is available, it is mentioned on the the specific cache page and in the attributes.
Please ensure to check the tides, weather (particularly wind conditions) and keep water safety in mind. This section of river is tidal and as such it can, at times, have a strong current (especially after heavy rain). It also has deep mud in places.
Have fun and stay safe. You seek this cache entirely at your own risk. Neither I nor Groundspeak accept any liability if you hurt yourself.
