This one is quite tricky to find but it's there, really. Look out for your signal here, as the trees will sometimes get in the way, especially near to the cache! Cache will get overgrown in summer. Note that some people have had trouble finding this one, so please be patient looking.

Make a longer walk of it by starting at Yarmouth Common and walking down the river - or start at Freshwater Bay and go the other way.

This cache has a pull-off lid (not screw-top). It's not always that easy to get off but it does come off, honestly!
