Long Compton Extra (LCE) cache series #01
This is the first of some extra caches set around Long Compton, a village on the extreme southern tip of Warwickshire and close to the border with Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, originally placed for a local CacheWalker Twixmas Event. This cache can be done by itself if you are just after Little Bridges caches or part of the LCE series.
There is a mixture of cache sizes but in ALL cases, none are hidden in any dry stone walls or caps to be removed from sign posts or gates and no fences should be climbed over.
There is some on street parking along Back Lane N51°59.44 W1°34.745, please do not block driveways.
The route is about 4 miles long on public paths and bridleways but does involve walking along the side the A3400 on a path through the village. The route can be muddy and wet in places depending on the weather. There is plenty of wildlife to keep an eye out for including: deer, foxes, buzzards and kestrals. The complete circular walk, which can be done it either direction, will take approximately 2 hours.
There may be live stock on the route and if you are taking geodogs, they must be on their leads (there are several signs on the route).
Depending where you start from, Back Lane is a good start point, otherwise be careful next to the A3400 or when crossing it. The area is popular with dog walkers, so keep a look out. Now off to the first, a Little Bridge.
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 run by Billiethecat, so you can see how many Little Bridges you have found, you can find it here:- https://littlebridgesseries.wordpress.com/ . 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 # xxxx then the name” including spaces so it will get picked up and added to stats list.
