A series of caches set in memory of our Golden Retriever. Jason, who had a true Golden Fleece. He would have loved this walk as it contains all the elements he loved ( and a few he didn't).
The series starts in the village of Staveley, Cumbria where ample parking can be found in the Main Street.
Refreshments are available with the highly recommended Wilf's Cafe (adjacent to the Brewery) and also at The Eagle and Child pub.
The Quest of Jason and The Golden Fleece.
Jason, is the mythical son of Aison, the former King of Ioleus. Jason’s, power hungry brother, Pelias, assumed control of the throne but Jason returned to assert his right to the throne. On his way to Ioleus he is tested by the goddess Hera – who begs for his assistance to cross a stream. Jason rises to the challenge and carries Hera across the stream impressing her so much she makes it her duty to help him on his challenge.
It is now your task to repeat Jason’s challenge – which will test your ingenuity, determination and perseverance but the rewards will be truly worthwhile.
The challenge is made up of 10 parts.
You need to achieve ALL the individual tasks to have any chance of finding-
The Golden Fleece.
Starting from the Main Street you will need to visit all 10 stages collecting a clue from each stage to enable you to calculate the final co-ordinates.
The route is approximately 7 and a half miles in length and is over a mixture of pathways, open fields, woodland, river bank, roadway and and a tiny section of BOG (to satisfy you know who ) and would suit all ages and fitness levels. Some sections would be inadvisable to tackle after dark as there are some steep sections above deep water and children should be closely watched in some sections.
The final co-ords are at
N. 54. CD. HLT
