As with our cache 'Before East is East this makes for a good start/finish to do all the caches on the coastal circle path around the island. you can choose to go in either direction and can end up back where you started after a mega walk if you wish Checkout our other caches. or this is a nice short walk for a single find. the views are lovely across the marshes.

We were recently made aware of the possible sighting of an Adder near to one of our caches and though we have walked the sea wall for many years have not yet been priviliged with as much as a glimpse, thought that the following info from our local courier might be of interest and helpful...
The Adders in Essex are a facinating but increasingly rare creature, the occupy a variety of habitats, including grasslands, scrubland, and heathland,howeverthe main strongholds in the county are seawalls and marshes beside the coast. Despite being the only venomous snake in the UK, Adders are not aggressive and will only ttack if harrassed or threatened. Thier venom poses little danger to a healthy adult, however thier bite is very painful and requires medical attention.
So may I remind you that at this time of year wherever you are caching be a little bit careful of putting your hand into any holes without having checked it out first.
