One Bridge Nearer Traditional Cache
Romany Rye: Sorry, I fully intended getting out to replace this but just not had the time.
If someone would like to take it on then they would be most welcome. It's a lovely area.
Many thanks to all the finders.

Another one on the Trans Pennine Trail. The cache is near to an amazing footbridge over Ditton Brook and with good views of the Widnes Runcorn Bridges. Continuing along the path brings you to West Bank Dock which was a very busy place untill the mid 1960s and the decline of much of the industry in the area. Remains of dock gates can still be seen though all of the docks have been filled in. There is talk of shipping coming back with a new intermodal (Road Rail and Ship) transport system in the future.
A 1 Litre Tupperware type box in a plastic Bag with the usual goodies and log book inside.
You could do this one in conjunction with "A Bridge Too Far" GCN4PE by Mellowman and Parno.(Now Bonnie & Clyde)
Enjoy the area.
