Geocache Description:

This cache is situated on the hillside north east of the village of Ashover locally known as Ashover rock, with panoramic views over the countryside, with a plinth showing distances to local landmarks.

This is a dead easy cache but stealth will definitely be required as is very popular especially on fine sunny weekends. It is in a small plastic box approx 13*9*3cm.

It can be accessed by various routes, walking up from Ashover village is a good way but the route described below is the quickest.
Park near to the junction of Alton lane and Brownhills lane (it is signposted Alton half a mile) there are spaces for a couple of cars .

Take the footpath directly opposite the junction its only about 150 meters to the cache from here, when near the large rock a number of paths come together, take the right path (W) walk on this path don’t follow your gps arrow to start with , you will see why in a very short distance if you have looked at the clue.

Children should be under close supervision as the rock is very climbable, it can also be very windy.


Good luck and enjoy the views.
