Mardale Madness No.1 - Cunning cached conundrums around
Haweswater.
Each cache in the Mardale Madness series is a standard cache - find
and fill in the logbook as normal.
Each cache also contains several copies of a cunning puzzle -
please take one. Solve the puzzle and email me the answer. If you
find all the caches and complete all the puzzles you will receive
the coordinates for a final, bonus cache.
MM1 Burn Banks is on the east end of Bampton Common, about 1km from
a parking spot in the village of the same name. From the parking
waypoint, go back, east, along the road to a gate onto the common.
Pleasant paths lead up and around the small hills. Easiest route:
from the gate follow the path that parallels Aika Sike around the
east side of the hill towards Aika Hill, then follow it west.
This can be combined with MM No.2 and No. 3, returning from
Sandhill Knotts via the lake-side path for a round trip of 8km.
Great walk for families. Can be boggy in places. Fine views and
easy paths although it is a 'hill walk' so go prepared. It can also
be combined with the others in the series for a half or full
circuit of the lake.
