We've been whiting to set this for a whale!
Crab a pen , get your skates on and see whether you can net it!
The cache is in Poole Park but you will need to visit all the points along the quay and in Poole town to work out the coordinates. You could walk from Poole to the Park, but there is parking nearby.
Tree cover may affect the gps at the final location but use the clue if you need to!
The co-ords given are for the start of the trail, the Lifeboat Museum.
The route will take you past many interesting locations in Poole's history. For more information about these, a leaflet (Poole Cockle Trail) is available from the Tourist Office for 30 pence.
