A Little Bridge between two lovely East Yorkshire villages. We found this location on a circular walk from the layby on Bracey Bridge on the A614 - it's around a 4.5 mile walk and relatively flat, and there is plenty of parking available in the layby. If you approach this from either Harpham or Lowthorpe villages, please park courteously and don't block field entrances or verges. We've walked here in late spring and early autumn when the ground has been fairly dry but the walk can get quite muddy during wet weather so please wear appropriate footwear!
Kelk Beck is also known as Foston Beck and is a small chalk river located to the east of Driffield in the Yorkshire Wolds. It rises near Kilham and flows south to join the Frodingham Beck and ultimately the River Hull. The beck is part of the River Hull Headwaters Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which is designated for their national importance as the most northerly chalk stream system in Britain.
The cache is a small metal container, similar in size to a 35mm film canister. PLEASE BE CAREFUL NEAR RUNNING WATER, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN.
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, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here: - Little Bridges Geocaching Series (littlebridgesseries.co.uk). If you would like to add to the series, please go to this site, on the tab Get Involved click number request and fill in the form. 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.
