Burbage Truffle 1 - We're off!
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is one of a series of caches that I have placed in a picturesque area of the Peak District on the outskirts of Sheffield. The caches follow a circular route of about 3 miles taking in Burbage Rocks, Carl Wark (aka the Devils Fort) and Higger Tor. There are 9 caches in the series but at least two other caches can be visited on the route i.e. Bountiful Burbage and Hole in One.
It is recommended that the Burbage Truffle caches are visited in their numerical order culminating in number 9 (the bonus cache).
Please note that the majority of the terrain is flat along well defined path but some of the terrain around this route is steep and rocky including walking on rough and rocky ground. It is advisable to wear good footwear and clothing appropriate to the weather conditions.
This cache is not far from car parking area 1 and its location gives great views down the valley - Burbage rocks on your left and Higger Tor on the right. Soak in the views around this route – the Peak District doesn’t get much better than this.
THIS IS A VERY POPULAR AREA WITH WALKERS, CYCLISTS, RUNNERS, CLIMBERS AND SCHOOL PARTIES. PLEASE RETRIEVE AND REHIDE THE CACHES WELL. PREVIOUS CACHES IN SOME OF THIS AREA HAVE BEEN MUGGLED – DON’T LET IT HAPPEN TO THIS SERIES.
There are several parking opportunities for you to use whilst visiting this series of caches (and other caches in the area). The main 2 parking area’s are around Burbage Bridge at 1. N53 20.576 W001 36.483 and 2. N53 20.593 W001 36.624
The cache is a small tuppaware style container covered in cammo and it contains a log book, pen, pencil, sharpener, cache box card and assorted trade items. It is big enough to take smaller TB’s and geocoins.
