A walk through Leigh Woods down to the banks of the River Avon.
This cache is situated on the banks of the River Avon and is best approached via the A369 Portishead to Bristol road via Leigh Woods where there is ample free parking at N51 27.794 W2 38.725 which is the start of several colour coded trails through the woods. The cache is located half way around the Blue trail. For cyclists it can also be reached on the River Avon cycle trail which can be accessed from the Cumberland Basin or Pill. The cache is roughly mid-way beteen these two entry points.
Leigh Woods cover 440 acres and is a site of Special Scientific Interest. You may be lucky enough to see Peregrine Falcons and Green Woodpeckers and there are also some deer in the forest.
The trail is loose gravel , suitable for large-wheeled push-chairs and unlikely to become too muddy even during heavy rain. There are some seating areas on the walk suitable for picnics. From the car-park follow the narrow road down the hill following the Blue trail markers. At the electricity box walk straight on until you see a sign leading to the No. 41 cycle-track. Follow this until you reach the river-bank and you are then within 200 yds of the cache.
Whilst the heavy tree cover will give problems with your GPS there are enough open areas to help you navigate to the cache area.
The cache itself is a tupperware container with the normal small items and log-book. It is situated outside the Woods alongside the cycle trail. A good signal can be expected here.
