Geocache Description:

Stanhope Saunter is a series of 6 straightforward caches on a circular route around the riverside starting and ending in the market place in Stanhope. Parking can be found along the Front Street in the Market Place and also at the Dales Centre, which is a little way along the main road out of the market place on the right.
The walk is easy and covers around 5 miles, there are a number of gates and styles and there is a railway line to cross, it is not in full time use and is little used but please take care and make sure it is clear before crossing the track. The walk is dog friendly but please keep on leads where appropriate as there may be “sheeps and moo cows” about. All of the caches are on or very close to the main pathway you will not need to climb walls fences etc except by the proper means the difficulty will be avoiding muggles.

The Stanhope Saunter route is best tackled in the following order:
#1 No Butts
#2 It’s a Steel
#3 Out of Site
#4 Thank U not!
#5 Caution Roman Crossing
#6 All creatures great and wall (micro)

We’ve given some directions to keep you on track but the route is well used and fairly obvious.

#5 - Roman Crossing.

follow the path from "Thank U not!" And join the riverside track, head up stream (you can grab another cache along here called River Walk GCQ2P0). If you want to cut the walk short (but miss cache 5) cross the river at the stepping stones and walk straight on up to the main road and turn right. Otherwise carry on up stream with the river on your right. Use the grass verge on the left as this short stretch is along the main road. Cross the river via the narrow road bridge, the foundations of which were built by the Romans.

Contents: Sheridan Co. Geocoin, and some other small items
