This is a series of 28 very-easy-to-find micros, many hidden
along the sea wall in Tollesbury Wick Marshes - surely one of the
most peaceful and muggle-free locations in the UK.
The whole walk has a good terrain but is 8.2 miles
long so this only suitable for able walkers. Allocate 3 to
4 hours for the walk and a refreshment break. Take a camera for the
stunning views. If it is a hot day protect yourself from the sun
with cream and a hat - there is no shade on this route.
The emphasis is on the scenic views and exercise since the caches
are in obvious locations with a generous description.
Park in Tollesbury village square (N 51° 45.497' E 0° 49.974');
there is usually plenty of room. To get you in the mood you could
tackle
Church Micro 525 St Marys, Tollesbury before you depart.
There is a a pub on the square: the King's Head and a convenience store: McColl's; but
I would highly recommend a backpack and picnic to make this a
morning/afternoon out - but take your litter
home.
The following overview map shows the recommended route and
approximate cache locations.
History
This cache series was originally launched on August 7, 2009 and
added to over the next two years.
On December 12, 2011 the cache names were changed to reflect the
incorporation of this trail as section 3 of the Essex 100 series and
all the nanos changed to micros.
On April 4, 2015 old caches renumbered; new caches added. |
