Geocache Description:

Easington Fell (G/SP-012) 1299ft asl. Easington Fell is a Marilyn in the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire, England.


This summit is the highest point of the fells to the North of Clitheroe in Lancashire.

Parking is available at N53°55.686, W002°25.770' if you want a fairly short and level-ish walk. Or N53°55.412', W002°23.272' if you fancy a longer and slightly more strenuous walk; most of this route there and back is on fairly good forest tracks (but not all of it) There are great views all round on this route too.

I've always found this fell pretty wet underfoot all year round so go well shod. Don't forget that you're out on pretty remote moors here so go correctly prepared for the terrain and note that the weather may change dramatically very quickly.

If using the longer route, why not take in the 'shivering Ginnel' multi-cache at the same time? GC19FR7. Don't be put off with it being a multi - the stages are quite close together and you're rewarded with fantastic views at the end, If you go on to the nearby summit.

This cache and other similar caches were originally placed by CharlieG0PZO for Radio Amateurs,who are taking part in the "Summits on the Air" programme. As they are hidden on mountain tops they will be of interest to geocachers who are fell walkers.

Please be sure to re-hide the cache properly

Please replace the stone carefully
