Mr S. has his roots in farming and used to farm in this area. He likes a bit of a ramble in the countryside and thought this would make a good Caching round. The walk is about 5 kms between Earthcott and Gaunt's Earthcott. It is mainly across farmland and you are likely to encounter livestock - particularly cattle and horses - please take care, especially with geodogs. In places it will be wet and muddy!
After #14 you will follow a farm track rather than the marked footpath - permission has been given for this.
The walk is fairly level, but is not buggy friendly as there are several styles and gates to negotiate. Sorry, this route is not suitable for cycling or night caching. Please bring your own pen and an OS Explorer Map 167 may be helpful.
PLEASE LEAVE GATES AS YOU FIND THEM
Care needed on the road it is a bit of a 'rat run' at times
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 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 # xx then name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to Damian’s list.
