Geocache Description:

This is a multi cache featuring the footbridge beside the ford at the SE end of Pig Shoot Lane.
There is parking for a few cars a short distance North of the foot bridge.
The ford is long and is not suitable for vehicular access,
but many dogs children and adults have a paddle here.
On the day of placing this cache two boys had been swimming here and their dad was still having fun using an inflatable dinghy.
We find this an attractive place especially when the Yellow water Lilies are blooming.

The cache is a short walk away from the bridge along the footpath that can be "Muggle Central" at times. (It was on the Sunday afternoon we placed this cache.) so stealth may be needed.

Questions at foot bridge.
a = Number of concrete upright posts
b = Number of wooden planks walked over along the length of the bridge.
c = Number of "T" shaped "Klamps" used along the top rail of the South East side of the bridge
d = Number of concrete piers (including the end two)

Final Location = N 50 45 (c-a) c (a+d) W 001 50 (b+1) (c+d-a) (a+d).
Check Sum = 54

The field boundaries near GZ all have varying amounts of barbed wire attached to them so there is some to be aware of when retrieving and replacing the cache.
The cache is a 5" long screw top preform container.

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 run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . If you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan on stanthews@aol.com and he will give you a number for your bridge, 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.
