After finding Hidden Sword we attempted to get down to the canal via the estate and were going to start at the Railway Station end but got caught out by lack of exits, so headed back to the car and parked nearby this one instead.

Beautiful area. Took us a huge amount of time to find this, due to my inability to read a compass correctly! Many roamers passed by and puzzled over our intense interest in this bridge. Eventually found by Mrs Fitz who checked a place I thought I had already checked - doh!

After completing this cache we made our way towards Ovaltine Overflow and crossed paths with a group of young scallywags on the opposite bank who shouted over at us:

"Did you take some nice photo's of the bridge"
"Which one?" I yelled back.
"The Langley footbridge... why were you taking photos of it?"
"We like bridges!" Cue mutterings and mild insults then the comedian shouted back some helpful advice.
"There's some more bridges you can go to.... Water Lane bridge... M25, Sainsbury's has a bridge..."

We carried on backs turned, and couldn't help chuckling. So now you have another excuse as to what you're doing for the uninitiated - bridge enthusiasts!
