Geocache Description:

Yaroslavl Bridge is a pedestrian bridge which crosses Western Way in Exeter. The bridge is named after Yaroslavl, Exeter's Russian twin town.

Yaroslavl Bridge

By seeking this or any other cache placed by myself or maintained by me you accept responsibility for your own safety. Caching can be dangerous. Assess the risk for yourself before seeking this cache!

Yaroslavl Bridge was built in 1992. It was designed to follow the line of the old walls of the ancient city of Exeter. The bridge actually "bridges the gap" between existing sections of the ancient city wall. It is very cleverly done. There is a commemerative plaque mid-way across the bridge. The bridge was put there to allow users of the adjacent design award winning Cathedral and Quay car park to walk into the city centre without having to cross the main road.

You are looking for a 35mm film cannister containing a booklet with several log sheets and a Geocaching information sheet. Due to popular demand, I have now added micro-pencils to this and all my other Exeter Bridge series micro caches.

Pay and Display parking is available nearby, but you may be lucky and find some on street parking in the area. Please be aware that there are residents parking areas and metered areas as well.

Enjoy the bridge. From here you can walk for a few minutes right down to Exeter quayside to complete two of my other caches Quayside Century and Exeter Bridges 5: Trew's Weir Bridge. Allow 90 minutes to do both, but a fast walker could do it within the hour. Once you find the cache, it may be prudent to sit down so you may find it easier to rehide it (watch out for any broken glass). Please be careful that you are not seen returning the cache container to its hiding place from the nearby flats.

The hint gives you the exact location of the cache.
