There are 3 potential routes to the cache; firstly from the summit
of Helvellyn coming down via Swirral Edge, Secondly up the
Glenridding Valley and up the Red Tarn Beck and Thirdly cut across
to Red Tarn from the "Hole-in-the-wall" or start of the Striding
Edge Path.
Either of the routes requires a significant walk of at least 2-3
miles uphill in a remote landscape, the paths are generally well
kept and the Edges are for the more experienced walkers. I don't
recommend the walk for young children!
Please always remember the conditions on the Fells can change
very quickly and dramatically, always prepare for the worst and
don't take risks! Therefore walking boots and waterproofs are
needed.
From the Red Tarn outlet flow ascend up towards Swirral Edge to
find the cache, which is hidden near to the path, just above 750m
elevation.
No severe slopes have to be navigated to find the cache and
please keep to the path up until approximately 20 metres.
On a clear day there can be wonderful views of people
silhouetted across Striding Edge, across the Tarn and up towards
the summit of Helvellyn.
Please re hide the cache well and be on the lookout for muggles
as the route can get busy.
The usual contents in the box, small trackables will fit in,
please don't remove the log book, geocache notice, pencils and
shapener, Thanks.
Enjoy the location, All the Best!
