The River Mude (meou - d) drains from Poors Common into the sea at Mudeford, pronounced 'mu-di-ford', for reasons I don't know. At Bransgore its more of a stream than a river.
The bridge is near the start of the footpath as it heads south, under the trees as the river takes a sharp bend. We've been here when the river is flooded and the path is covered for some distance. But most days its uneventful other than meeting dog-walkers.
This geocache is the little brother of #105 - 40 behind which was further upriver. We archived it after some problems where people didn't put it back right but largely because that road has become so busy in the last 5 years.
You can park in the Recreation Ground car-park but check when the gate closes. Its a micro so you'll need your own pen.
For those cachers who want a walk as well, carry on south and the footpath becomes Brook Lane, a track. At the end turn left. At the T-junction, turn left and pass over the river and the little bridge where the cache's big brother was. At the end, with the pub opposite, turn left and walk back to the rec. Its a loop of about 1.5 miles.
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, Damian from Winter Foxes has created and updates a list of cachers who has found 10 or more little bridges and can be found here, if you would like to add to the series, please contact Stan here 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 # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
