Geocache Description:

Stop for a minute to look at the boats and the sea birds

A 35mm film canister - bring your own pencil - no room for small swaps or TBs I'm afraid. Will be monitoring this one as I think it may be vulnerable to high tides.... Parking as for Hamble Ramble – Lower Swanwick at N 50° 52.819 W 001° 17.798 or at N 50° 51.230 W 001° 18.380. Level gravel paths suitable for off-road buggies. Can be busy so stealth may be required retrieving the cache.

This is one of a group of caches which can be done as an extended walk or individually.
