Geocache Description:

A 1000 ft ascent to the highest point roundabout.

Suggest starting at N.54° 48.754, W.002° 14.000 for a 5.5 mile round trip (allow 2-2½ hours). You can also start at Allenheads for a longer walk. The pub here used to be filled with more rubbish and bric a brac than you would find in all the cache boxes in all the world, but I think new owners have cleared it out. The cairn on the summit is visible for most of the ascent on a clear mostly grassy path. Look and listen for grouse (no, not Mrs Dan) golden plover (in summer) and curlew.

The cache is hidden some 400 metres from the summit, but if you've come this far you may as well go to the top with it's cairn and trig point. Views in all directions including Blencathra on a clear day. You don't need to move anything to find the cache which is a clear container with a blue lid.
