This geocache is part of a series, with Travel Bugs, dropped as part of celebrations linked to Clitheroe District Scouts centenary. Yes scouting in the Clitheroe Area has been active for a 100 years. During the Centenary year 2014, there will be special camps, a Gang show and another activities. St Mary Magdalene Scout Group have decided to see how far we can spread the word of scouting in Clitheroe. We want to see how far our Travel bugs can travel during 2014 and beyond.
This Geocache is located with the kind permission of one of our supporters Lancashire Wildlife Trust who provide us with special permission to use the reserves around Clitheroe for some of our activities. We also assist at times with maintenance of the reserves.
As this cache is located within the reserve we ask that you take extra care to respect the grounds, and keep to the paths and especially avoid trampling any important meadow land.
Crosshill Quarry was abandoned as a quarry in the 1900s. Since then it has become refuge for all sorts of wildlife and wildflowers, near to the River Ribble you can seen herons, kingfishers and otters. Throughout the reserve there are butterflies, bats, owls and deers.
